What's with those names?

So, I know the question has come up in reference to Operation Megatron, but I'll explain Honeybees and Baby Pandas too. We are an extremely silly family. In the beginning of our adoption journey BP1 requested the rights to naming his new brother. We informed him that he already named our oldest girl and did a great job. It would just seem like testing fate to let him do it twice. His father proceeded to tell him that "if we said yes to that, he would want to name him something crazy...like Megatron." Since then, that is what we've called our faceless angel. Who unfortunately will likely be plagued for a lifetime with that nickname. LolWe do promise that will not actually be his name. Yes, we have been asked that question too. It's kind of catchy for our cause and it definitely draws people's interest.
Now for Honeybees and Baby Pandas....my sister put a picture up on Facebook one day (the one with my About Me section). She captioned it with the fact that her nieces and nephew were actually pandas (they are black, white, and asian mixed). Then shortly after that I came across an adoption group titled Honeybees. It's a group for blacks that adopt asian children. I cracked up because I had never heard that term for the intermixing of blacks and asians. Busy bee is half white and half asian, and I am black, so I thought it was quite hilarious. (Race is far from a touchy subject in our house.)
I have always seen people with these cutsie blog name and could never come up with one fitting enough, until then. A few silly jokes became the perfect description for our family. So now through our blog, you will be swept into our crazy world. Here you will meet Queen bee, Busy bee, and Baby Pandas 1, 2, and 3. We have plenty to share and we can't wait.
Welcome to the jungle,
Queen Bee
