To bee or not to bee...creative

So this is going to sound like a very silly request, but I thought I'd try anyway.

I'm not going to go into depth about my research project on my blog, but one of my research goals this summer is to compare some decisions of honeybee colonies that experience a period of good foraging weather to the decisions of honeybee colonies that experience a prolonged period of bad (rainy) weather. To induce a prolonged period of bad weather, I've constructed a device to make colonies think that it's raining (without having to use a sprinkler and tons and tons of water).

This device is basically a circulating pump system that showers water onto the entrance of a hive, collects the water in a tray underneath the hive, and recirculates the water via a small fountain pump from Home Depot. The bees won't come out of the hive when they think that it's "raining" like this. I've plugged the pump into an outdoor timer, so that the rain will automatically begin at early in the morning and continue until a set time in the evening.

I'm not the first person to do crazy things like this to a bee hive/colony. A professor on my committee has used a sprinkler in some previous research, and a research group in Europe has constructed a device like this for an observation hive. In their papers, they refer to their device as a "rain machine." My device/system is a bit different because it is meant to fit regular-sized colonies out in a bee yard.

So here's my silly request: I want to give a name to my "rain machine" -- just a way to refer to it in presentations, mainly. I could just call it a "rain machine," but I'd like to get something a bit more creative (but still informative) going. My advisor even mentioned that I should have an acronym contest. ;)

So yeah...here's a try at that. :)

The name for the device doesn't have to be an acronym, but it might make things more interesting. :) Keywords might include things like: individual hive, individual colony, bad weather, rain, shower, honeybees, Apis mellifera, etc. I'm looking for a name that's informative, creative, and perhaps intuitive. Bonus points for being (beeing?) corny, too -- I'm a big fan of nerdy humor, as you all should know by now. I accept suggestions via blog or e-mail. I'll be trying to think of something too.

The winner gets...hm. Respect? Nah. Coauthorship on a manuscript? Nah. Ice cream? Now that's a possibility. :)

Thanks in advance for some professional silliness!
