Last night's ep on Channel 4 featured Frederick in the national finals of a Spelling Bee competition. I have never heard of this phenomenon occurring outside the USA, so can anyone please tell me...

How and why it began

Why a 'Bee'

These queries aside, it seems the perfect activity for Niles to have participated in as a child, it seems odd that no-one thought of it years ago to include it in a script.

A Spelling Bee I guess was created as a competition to see who could spell the best. I have no clue why they use the word bee. I really don't know maybe you could do a search on yahoo.com.
