How do you say queen bee in Greek?

There isn't a single, perfect translation for "queen bee" in Greek that captures the nuance of the English term. It depends on the context. Here are a few options:

* βασίλισσα μέλισσα (vasilissa melissa): This is the most literal translation, using "βασίλισσα" (vasilissa) for queen and "μέλισσα" (melissa) for bee. It's perfectly understandable and commonly used.

* βασιλική μέλισσα (vasiliki melissa): This uses "βασιλική" (vasiliki), meaning "royal" or "queenly," which is more descriptive of the bee's status.

Both options are acceptable. The first is simpler and more direct, while the second is slightly more evocative.
