- /ˈbiːˌbɹɛd/ (Received-Pronunciation)
- bēʹbrĕd' (Received-Pronunciation)
Etymology
Probably an Early Modern English combination of bee + bread, but compare the Old English bēobrēad (“honeycomb full of honey”), and Middle English beoblæd (for beobræd?). Cognate with Old Saxon bībrōd (“honeycomb”, “gingerbread”, literally “bee-bread”).
Meanings
- (uncountable) Bee pollen with added honey and bee secretions, made and stored in brood cells by forager bees, and used as food for worker bees and larvae.
