Busy Bees or Busy Bee's

[htmeeks]

Good Afternoon:

An Old Time Country General Store Name in the making is Busy Bees General Store.

Would it be correct to say on the Sign.......Busy Bees General Store or Busy Bee's General Store?????

Many Thanks;

Busy Bee

Does "Busy Bee" own the store? If so, use the possessive.

[SirGod]

*Not a teacher

Busy Bees' General Store (possessive)

This if Busy Bees is company's name.

Good Afternoon:

I have been out of town & I appreciate the quick reply. To tell you the truth, I have been down here with all of these Country Folks for so long, all of my College & High School Grammar has left me.

I will own the store along with my wife of 35 years. So, Busy Bee or Busy Bee's or Busy Bees'.

You sound like my old 12th Grade English Teacher with your reply. In which I sat there, as lost as I am now.

With All Best Wishes:

Busy Bee

If you (singular) are "Busy Bee" and you own the store then use the possessive. "Busy Bee's."

To tell you the truth, well, shucks, that sure does surprise me from a retired academic.

If you (singular) are "Busy Bee" and you own the store then use the possessive. "Busy Bee's."

Good Afternoon Again:

Many Thanks for the reply. I am beginning to understand all of this. Sam Wall certainly had similar problems.

Not to get real technical and or "out of sorts", for the benefit of our nice European neighbors, We have several Partners and employees. If they were considered Busy Bees and were associated with the Name Busy Bee's General Store, Would your answer above apply to this new question?

With All Best Wishes:

Busy Bee

Well spotted, jed.

It looks like htmeeks is no nearer opening his store than he was 18 months ago. . .

. . .and is still dithering about the apostrophe.

Ht, ask yourself who's going to care about what you call your store.

A few years ago a pub in Accrington was named The Bee's Knee's.

Not many noticed the mistake, and those of us who did just had to put up with it.
