I know it’s “Yeehaw” with a bee, but where’d that idea for a name come from?

Someone deciding to combine the phrase yeehaw with bees to create beehaw and art/iconography to match predates the website, yes. As far as I know, we may be the largest cultural movement associated with the idea/concept.

Wondering if we can have the origin of the name Beehaw as part of the Beehaw documentation. I skimmed the documentation before asking this question and didn’t find it there, which is why I ended up asking here.
