The sign for BEE has two parts: (jew i) First the sign for FLYING INSECT is made. One hand forms a curved F shape with the palm facing outwards. The hand is raised to the side of the head and makes a small circular movement at the same level, like a bee. (jew ii) Both hands then take the shape of curved 5, with palms facing horizontally, and rotate in opposite directions.
A variant of this sign is made up of the first part of the sign for BEE and the sign for FLOWER, that is the hand is in the shape of closed Ċ with the palm facing the body. The hand moves up from neck level to nose level as though smelling a flower.
The sign for SMALL is made with one hand in the shape of closed Ċ with the thumb close to the index finger. The distance between the thumb and the index finger indicates the size of the bee. The sign for BIG, made with a C shaped hand, opening according to the desired size, is used to refer to a big bee. The signs for SMALL and BIG are used after the sign for BEE.
For the plural, the hand in the bent 5 shape rotates at the side of the head. The facial expression is that of disgust. Sometimes, the hand in the shape of open F is placed at various points in the signing space at eye level, as though many bees were being placed there. Otherwise, the sign for MANY is used after the sign for BEE.
When the noun BEE is the subject of a verb of movement, the hand in the shape of F or X, is used as a classifier and moves according to the action of the verb.
