Default Honey Bee Pattern

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.
