The phrase "bee cells" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English.
Example: The beekeeper carefully examined the bee cells to check for any signs of disease.
Bee cells feature, for example, in the curious neurological phenomenon of geometrical patterns including honeycombs which the human mind often experiences as a result of starvation, sensory deprivation, getting drunk or suffering a migraine.
I glanced over to my left and saw, arranged symmetrically like giant honeycomb bee cells, sixty or seventy petri dishes lining the top of the bureau.
Alternatively, replication of N. ceranae in honey bee cells may cause a decrease in the bees' ability to ward off viral infections that normally could be controlled.
In this paper, I examine the debate about bee cell construction; whether bees built hexagonal cells or not, and how this instinct could evolve.
From the book: Sitting on the porch alone, listening to them fixing supper, he felt again the indignation he had felt before, the sense of loss and the aloneness, the utter defenselessness that was each man's lot, sealed up in his bee cell from all the others in the world.
Wallace's defence of the Origin on the topic of evolution of the hexagonal bee cell.
More alarmingly, there were no successor queen cells (which are larger and angled differently than regular worker-bee cells).
Per sample pollen in bee brood cells originated from between one and 85 different plant species.
Unlike in the bees on combs (in intercomb spaces; Fig. 3A), however, the relation of bees in cells of brood and non-brood areas was similar in all age classes up to the forager age (see legend of Fig. 3B).
The rate of bees inside cells being warmer than the estimated cell wall temperature (Tcell 30%), i.e. the number of bees transferring heat to the combs, also was not different between the age groups older than two days.
