Good one, I wish I was good with Anagrams.

I wasn't sure what an anagram was until I went to www.m-w.com to look it up.
Without the hint I kept thnking about ants, but then I peeked at the hint and then started anagramming bees, then it hit me - HORNETS! Very good teaser, I thoroughly enjoyed this one - it kept me guessing.

I thought it was interesting, I remeber something like that from grade school, but I'm so old so that was centuries ago!!!!!
Vey nice. I was thinking more lik ants, or flies. But, still interesting.
definitely should've defined "anagram", but otherwise, great teaser!
What is an anagram or whatever That wasn't very good
donfrench: I like your answer better.
anagram - A word or phrase formed by reordering the letters of another word or phrase, such as satin to stain; dad, add; stew west.

Very good...not too obvious.
All you people who complain you don't know the meaning of a word, have you ever heard of a dictionary? And on the web you can do it so easily. Go to Google and enter define:anagram.
Dumb
i liked that but it to sweet
haha
hahaha
haha
hahaha
it was not that hard and it was not that BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked it! I have to admit I spent too much time on bees and ants before I looked at the answer.
I would have been faster at figuring it out if I had known exactly what a anagram was. Great teaser though.
I'm just a bit surprised so many people who must like puzzles (as they use this site) didn't know what an anagram was. And then, not knowing, didn't think to look it up in a dictionary.
