If I buy a colony of bees, and give each one a name, how do I remember which name goes with which bee?

I don't want them to think I'm insensitive

I suggest you give each one a little name tag.

That won't work. The name tags will affect the aerodynamics of the bees.

What if you destroy the nametags and conduct a dark ritual to bring them back as ghostly name tags? Then you can magically bind them to the bees, but since they won't have a physical presence, they won't affect the aerodynamics.

Hmm. As a warlock I can bind ghost name tags to the bees, but I lack ghost vision. Although, the bees will start producing ghost honey.

Are the names words or smells?

Their names are actually unique strings of dance moves.

Turn into a bee yourself to change your world view?

Won't work; if I turn into a bee, then I won't be able to perform any beekeeping actions.

So it seems you've decided on your answer to the question "to bee or not to bee".

Philosophical? This is a very concrete discussion about bees.

Well, I turned myself into a bee and had a friend ready to turn me back into a humanoid afterwards, but the bees didn't recognize me! How do I get the bees to recognize me as their keeper if I've transformed myself into a bee?

Yes, the bees would not be able to read it. Also, I don't even know what their name for me is!

A hat.
Actually hats for all the bees, each one represents a name. Include little holes for the antennae.
Grubs can wear hats too.
