It's time for these bees to cross-pollinate.

Six flower shapes, each made out of six light gray hexagons. Four of the flowers have yellow center hexagons and two of the flowers have hexagonal gaps in the center. Two cartoon bees fly nearby, each carrying a yellow hexagon with a letter inside it. Each flower contains a phrase. These phrases, in order, are: "Largest of the four major brain lobes," "Made a dog-like, low, guttural sound," "Keyboard shortcuts," "Yellow-green birthstone," "Jay-Z has this x99," "First Black pitcher in the American League."
