Jamie Ellis' National Honey Show video 'Honey Bees 4 Questions' is worth a watch:

I haven't yet watched Prakel's video to see if the answer is in there, but from what I've read, entomologists prefer 'honey bee' and 'butterfly'. The reason is that a honey bee is a bee - so two words - whereas a butterfly isn't a fly - so, one word.

That's pretty-much the same explanation Jamie Ellis gives (I've not seen the film, but saw him talk in Edinburgh recently).
Like dragonfly and butterfly that are not flies, do you know of any insect with a name ending in 'bee' that's not a bee?
