Riddle

[Deleted User]

So my mom shared this riddle on our trip to FL for Thanksgiving and I just couldn't come up with the answer (my aunt finally told me). Thought I'd share it with all of you to see if anyone is "smarter than the average bear" so to speak. I definitely was not...

If a bee is in the hand, what is in the eye?

I have a guess, but I think it's more of a joke answer than a riddle answer...

A stinger? (Ha, I have no idea, these always stump me....).

I got tired of waiting so I googled.

I was... not right.

That's what I was thinking! I also tend to be bad at these sorts of things.

BEAUTY - Because "Beauty is in the Eye of the Bee-Holder".

ahh...I marvel at the fact that some of you were able to get it so quickly without already knowing the answer! I guess my brain just doesn't work like that!!!

Ahh. Yeah, I'm much too literal to get stuff like that.

Nice! My first thought was the/a "holder" because if you add that to the rest of the words in the riddle and then re-order them, you almost get the whole saying...yeah, I make up my own answers to stuff... ::crickets::
