Morphology

bee-like = bee (transparent) = bee + like

Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-like' added to 'bee', so the meaning 'resembling a bee' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Bee-like combines bee and the ending -like, where -like means 'similar to' and bee is 'bee'. So, bee-like means 'similar to a bee' and is used for things that look like a bee or act busy and quick, such as striped costumes or small robots that help flowers.
