Consider that the beehive is a laudable symbol, representing industry. 
Consider whose work is done by idle hands.

Context is everything.  Bursting into song or serving food are very 
unwelcome, and the Hope Diamond a worthless rock, if they appear in the 
wrong context.

Do what seems appropriate to a given situation, with attention to whether 
your actions may be perceived differently than you intended.  Seek to avoid 
unintended displays of disrespect without being governed by the opinions of 
those who are easily offended.
