    How can I make a bee pun?
    Community Answer
    Bee is an awesome word to make a pun with! The first way is just to replace “be” with “bee” in a sentence. This works best with a sentence about bees, such as “If you go out into the flower garden without shoes, you’ll bee sorry!” You can also do this with words such as “because” or “belong”, like this: “What do bumblebees say to their children? Bee-have!” You can take advantage of the double meaning of the phrase “queen bee”, with something like this: “What do you call a bossy honeybee? A queen bee!” Finally, you can end your sentence with the word “honey”, as this is what bees make.

    I made this book title idea called Abyss Thing (the title is really a pun on "a bee sting" ). Is that a good or bad pun?

    You may need to modify the title a bit to make it sound more like "A bee sting". Your pun idea sounds like the pun that the fictional characters George and Harold made on their book, "Ice Women Diary: A Witch's Tin Key." It is actually a pun on "I swim in diarrhea, which is stinky.". Maybe, instead of "Thing", you could do "Ting" or "Teen", or something similar, like "Obese Thing" instead, or "Obese Teen".
