Is a honey bee pattern a solid one? Maybe in the fall when all the drones
are getting kicked out of the hives and dying in the cold?
My absolute best day fly fishing I was casting a honey bee and letting it
drift over a pocket and down a riffle at the bottom of the pocket. I got
hit almost every drift for the first 30 or 40 passes. That particular day
was mid summer, but I was wondering why it did so good for me. I had
tried three or four other patterns in the same spot before that one. I
only saw one actual bee on the water the whole day. In fact it was after
I spotted it that I tried the bee pattern.

One of those things that either work well or just donīt work at all, with
normally the latter being the case. It is also not certain that the trout
took it for a bee. They may have been feeding on beetles or similar, which
the pattern you used was a reasonable imitation of.
Trout will take bees, but they only relatively seldom fall on the water.
So, a bee pattern may be worth carrying, for the odd occasion when it might
occur, but I would not rely on it.
