The Damage
In a flurry of wishful thinking, I imagine a huge demographic overlap between bee fans and webmonkeys.
This blog is born.
You're reading this, so I'll assume you've already witnessed the damage over on my aunt's web site. That's how you got here, right? (Unless your last Google search included the terms "honey," "SOS" and "WTF".) Hmm... now I'm actually curious to see what that turns up.)
Okay, focus, Dana.
I've been wrestling with the site bug(s?) myself since late last week. I've exhausted every strategy I can think of: scoured my code, ran virus checks, did the whole spyware Spyhunter thing, installed all the browser updates, and then finally just wiped the site and rebuilt it from scratch. Nothing helped.
In fact, although I might just be hallucinating from too much maté, I would swear it's getting worse.
I'm posting all of the original pages below, so you can see what www.ilovebees.com looked like BEFORE it crossed over to the dark side.

After reading the source code for the pages, it is obvious this is a hoax and that the site owner or you or whomever have done those things to your own site...
OK, thanks for the mild amusement but ... really. For one thing, the .js is a giveaway since it resides in the same directory as the main html page.

halo?
Cortana letters?
Cortana letters indeed. All signs point to this site being bungie
30 hornets vs 30,000 bees
We know all the cortana letters so far have come from bungie offices, I am sure we could trace this site there as well
What does that mean? Hinting at something :p ?

CAPTAIN KEYES!!! All those messages are from the character of Captain Keyes from HALO!!! Just look at it... he talks about the stars. Captain keyes, if my memory serves me, was taught to look at the stars as a guide from his father, which is where he got the pipe from. He also has that flood in his mind "head full of sand." All the stuff about being "shipwrecked." Those are Keyes' memories being stolen by the thing in his head, the infection form. All the stuff about the spread of things and hemmorages, that's happening to Captain Keyes. It all adds up. My knowledge of the book is horrible, but this sounds just like captain keyes.
Look at this:
"totally different kind of memory all of a sudden, floating up like a bubble from deep water, then *pop* on the surface of my mind. All in black and white for some reason, faded out, or just time bleaching the past like it does, time is hard that way, if you-" this was said on the Ilovebees site, and it sounds like memories being stolen, just like how Keyes' memoiries were being stolen. It's all in the book: Halo the flood.
I think the site is trying to hint at the new race that will join the covenant. The trailer talks about how the Earth is in the way of the covenant. I think this new race has a "hive" and the words Phasmidia Elegans(type of worm) hint at their physical structure. I think the excerpts that allude to loneliness taken from Gulliver's travels and Shakespeare's The Tempest are hinting at "the monitor" from Halo 1. He is in an unknown planet.
It's actually Cortana/Durandal talking there :/ If anyone remembers, and the end of marathon, Durandal talks about how they know how to escape the end of the world, and they reappear as Cortana in Halo. It might be Captain Keyes, although all signs point to Cortana. Guess we'll have to wait for Halo 2.
you're right about that, we won't know until Halo 2 comes out.
Wow Bungie, you really care about your fans. Thanks for making this big mystery for all of us to solve before Halo 2! YOU GUYS RULE
Ladybee777? If you don't mind me asking, what is the signifigance of the sevens in your email name?
try this site: www.xbox.ilovebees.com. notice anything? i did. IT'S THE SAME SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is definitely a fake
"MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Just remembered something important:
The Operator.
That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me ... whatever my name was.
The Operator.
I wish I could remember their names."
it could be doctor halsey...
i also noticed that only DANA's pictures are all glitchy... at least when i looked at it... is it because she's interfering or whatevers? heh... just a guess..
The Dr. Hasley theory seems valid after I saw the statment by "Cortana" that said
"That was surprisingly easy. Pretty lax security around here, for all the talk. They will
be helplessly chasing me around their nodes for the next millenium at least. At least
there will be some joy in tormenting this other entity that seems quite "trapped" in
their excuse for a network. Although, for some reason, it does seem to have an obsessive
preoccupation with my mother. Strange."
If memory serves me correctly, Dr. Hasley is considered to be Cortana's "mother" or creator.
I have a bee in my helmet. And my helmet is sealed on in such a way that no air gets in or out. So I think I will just hold still for a while.
HALO 2 RULEZ...
great tresure hunt tankyou bungie!
www.ntsc-uk.com
For intelligent discussion and import videogame reviews.
Cheers, Bungie.
It's a PITTY I REGRET the TRU7H. Search closely in the Halo 2 Theatrical Trailer.
Good work Cortana. Dig deeper, we need more information.
im now ladybee777 lol
supposedly someone was saying that there was a date of August 24 that this site refers to... supposedly there is a playable version of Halo 2 at PAX hosted by Penny-arcade.com and its on the 28th and 29th... maybe its refering to when the playable demo will be available and approved for general consumption... It probably does have something to do with Cortana, tho as others have suggested.
this is nuts

maybe i was the only one thatnoticed but in the halo 2 trailer at lowes cinema at the end itgoes from xbox.com to www.ilovebees.com and back
someone said that www.xbox.ilovebees.com works, well so does anything. i tried www.45973907654906870jkghglkhgnflh.ilovebees.com and that works
Someone was asking about the relevance of the numbers "777" in Ladybee777. Multiply them together.
*coughs* Guilty Spark *coughs*
That's right. And apparently the varrao mites look oddly similar to the flood. Anyways, just some interesting stuff. And that marathon.bungie stuff is messed up.
Its keyes.
Keys is leading them.
The flood is comming...
keys is an enemy threat. He is a flood capable of destroying all of our security whith his mutated self and old memories.
I said earlier that it might be keyes, and I think it is. The only thing that doesn't add up is the "keep it together girl," statement that some people say they saw on ILOVEBEES. I personally think that he might be referring to the pillar of autumn as he was crash landing it. It was yet another memory being stolen by the infection form. I asked about the sevens in her name because we all know how much bungie likes the number 7. They trow it in everywhere. I can't wait until that timer runs out, I think things will clear up a little bit then.
But I thought Keyes died when Halo was destroyed.
Maybe it is the Flood inside Sgt.Johnson, struggling within him or something. I don't know, just a thought.
Or maybe it's Dr.Hasely gone out of whack, after all, she did take off with Kelly.
Dana. You said stop refering to as if you were not there and start talking to you.
I am going to go out on an extraordinarily large limb here and do what you told me.
So, how are you? :-) Headaches yet?
I guess I'll go out on a limb too.
Dana, do you know anything that might have caused this?

it's complete bs. the site's freakin hosted at rackspace, meaning: waiting for high traffic, and expensive. no little beehive place or whatever could afford, or waste money on that.
plus, for what it's worth, the site has virtual hosting on so there's probably more sites on that so may-B something's hidden on a sub-domain or what not.

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF is goin on with your sight im freaking out. Does this have to do with anything about halo 2 because this same exact fing website was featured in a part of a movie about halo 2 whats this shit about
OK...i think i have figured it out...and a comment earlyer has made me thing...now...I hate the flood and this is based on them...I didnt want to see them back but this shows that it wil have something to do with them...Now i havent read the books so i dont know if they cleared this up in them or not...but when halo was destroyed chunks floated through space...now you can honstly think that everything on them died...that includes the flood...now you know how the flood can reproduce in massive numbers...well...they took keys memorie and found a way to "evolve" past that stupid little thing that looks like a squid...and have found ways to make some kind of ships or found a ship storage thingy or something...now remember in the game where cortana or someone says "if the flood find out where earth is we are doomed"...well they took keys..and he has been to earth...now put two and two together...now this is what i think is gona go down...cov attack earth b/c of a massive invasion they have planed for years...then out of no where the flood show up with keys thoughts as there guide...and then your back to square one...trying to get the flood gone and the cov...its just and idea...and im a little..."messed up" so i dont know if it makes sence to you guys..but it dose to me
WTF guys mabe this has nothing to do with halo mabe its actualy a threat from someone then well all die and this wont be cool. But if this really does have something to do with a video game then ill be happy,
wtf guys what if this has nothing to do with halo 2 mabe this is a actual threat and we might all get computer viruses or somthing. I will be completely happy when this does have somthing to do whith a video game.

i did a "select all" on the page about cough syrup (i think it was that one) and it popped up at the bottom
Edit: it was the one about roasted carrots
I did select all on more pages and go these:
main page: site aesthetic by aunt margaret
... and thats it... i think.
Dana, why did your aunt randomly send people honey?
On the Halo trailer, it shows www.ilovebees.com at the end,other interesting thing about the trailer, if you look closly, it appears that the in game footage is from a mulitiplayer point of view, either on live or a lan, cause it says in the top right corner you killed....(name) if you slow it down, its cool maybe you can use the elites as playable characters in multiplayer mode!
Well, i arrived here via the halo 2 trailer and Dana, I have only one thing to say......what's cookin', good lookin'?
elites have already been confirmed for multiplayer...
Dana, are you aware that your shirts that are selling at cafe press have the emblem for halo 2 on the back?
Everyone, we all know that the timer ends on August 24th, I think it's possible that Halo 2 may come out on that date... before you start saying that I'm stupid, think about it... in the latest Frankie update they talk about doing fixes and beta testing. Do they really need 4 months to do that? Also, they already have an ESRB rating, they wouldn't be able to do that unless they had a near finished product. Think about it... the throttling thing could mean that they will announce it then or it will go gold, and metastasize means spread, that could be when the game gets delivered to retailers. The time between matastasize and the end of the counter is just long enough to deliver. I'd say that it could be about a demo or a content release too, but then why are there two things before that. The truth is that we really won't know anything for two days... and I really can't wait until then...
Bye the way... most of these ideas aren't mine, they come from the forum about this at bungie.net... if this stuff actually happens, they should get all the credit.
the shirt is at cafepress.com in their store... the front has the familiar bee and the back has the image

Looks a lot like one of the machines has caught a nasty case of Rampancy... I'd hate to have to be the one cleaning it up.
I feel a part of me has been taken. A part of my very being. But alas, It seems a higher being has deemed it necessary.
<777 weeps>
Guys, stop copying and pasting the text you find on thie site. Its been done to death and taking up so much space that its hard to read this blog.
holy demonic crap someones spirit is trapped it cant get out. it seems peacfull but if you take from it... it may become angry and confused if it isnt already... dont do anything to release the flood on yourself, you look like a good host for a large paricite to me
Okay, I've been in and out of this site and through the comments...yea, I've got that kind of time on my hands...and I'm at work *wink*...anyways, here's what I think:
Earlier in the posting process of this site an apparent friend to Aunt Margaret comments about Varroa Mites and comments about the mispelling on the site. She goes on and says, "I did some research on those things...very nasty. How goes her fight against the little beasties?" Having read this I decided that if this was just a huge treasure hunt from Bungie and Microsoft then why not try to crack it. I checked out these Varroa mites and one site (a serious site, not one related to this) describes them quite well and in the Halo world they sound an awful lot like the Flood. The site talks about how these mites have and can lead to the death of a great number of bees or bee colonies. The mites feed off of the blood of bees larvae and pupae. Meaning the Flood doesn't just use humans.
On Ilovebees.com I noticed the "Fable of the Bee" it tells an interesting story in and out of the Halo Realm. However, such a story leads me to think that the "bees" are metaphorically the Covenant. They wish to destroy humankind and such a power could only be granted through the vast power of Halo, which would inevitably lead to their death as well. Upon the destruction of the only known Halo they decided to attack earth in revenge and to pursue their objective head on.
Now, if the Flood is in fact referred to as the "varroa mites" then they would attach themselves to the "bees" and wait to lay their eggs (as the female Mite is said to do) until the oppotune time. Who's to say that no Covenant survived the first Halo? Perhaps, a ship escaped with a grunt or Elite or some kind of Covenant that was infected with a stowaway female flood parasite that was laying dormant until it saw fit to attack. It would wait until it was surrounded by more Covenant so when it "exploded" (you know the Flood enemy I'm talkin about) and its mites attacked and took over either a covenant ship.
This is where I have two branches of the story...yea, this is long I know and I'm sorry. If the Flood killed and took over a ship escaping Halo, then they could have infected one of the upcoming Prophets and gained intelligence and even forethought. They could indefinitely have a strong strategic advantage on Earth and the Covenant. They would know the Covenant's plans to attack Earth and would wait until both sides had hurt each other so badly that they would be overwhelmed by the unexpected Flood invasion/attack, and they would win without much of a fight. Which is where our story for the MC would lie...maybe.
The other way is about the same but if the Stoweaway Flood Parasite waited until the infected Covenant trooper came in close quarters with a Prophet or when it was deployed to Earth and attacked both races with the blind rage and unmerciful killing that we're all accustomed to the Flood having.
I just kind of went on all that. So, hey, there's my stab at a story line spoiler and the whole purpose of the site. The countdown clock...I hope that the comment earlier is right and they release the game unexpectingly early for either pre-orders or for everyone. Whatever happens, I know the Game will be awesome and I've got my 2 pre-order stubs sitting in my wallet right now. Have fun with the site guys and hope you enjoyed my ranting. If not, sorreh...just havin fun
Also at the top of this page under the "I Love Bees" thing...yea, the guy waking up in the morning...yea...yea...just helps support the Flood
The three players that are killed in the trailer are 1. Truth 2. Regret 3. Pity or thats what it says in the top left corner, I dont know what that means tho.

40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the WHOLE OF THE LAW.
41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the aeons! Hell.
42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay, are none!
46. Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen.
47. But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.

I love bees
Welcome to I Love Bees! This is my web page mostly dedicated to beekeeping.
I have been beekeeping for seven years and I’m still learning. ...
ilovebees.com/ - 8k - Jul 23, 2004 - Cached - Similar pages
That was taken from google, think the Jul 23, 2004 things means anything?
I think this is awesome! Good work Bungie, you are keeping us busy!
Anyone Know If We Can Get A Hold Of Dana On AIM?

"The end of the World is upon us! I wont be selling these items after Aug 24th due to the BEE's."
Taken from http://www.cafeshops.com/ilovebees.12518390?zoom=yes#zoom
Look at the shopkeeper bio on the left hand side.
Could BEE's be an acronym? Notice the ' which shouldn't be there is your just saying bees.
Also there is
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
length: 120 meters
crew: 40
cover: pleasure yacht
ha
ir co
lor: b
r o
In the Halo book series there was an ONI surveillance ship made to look like a civilian pleasure yacht.
Just a couple things for you guys to munch on.
This is all so wierd, ive been reading everywhere and this blog has the most info anywhere thanks to many of you
There are also quotes from Gulliver's Travels: A Voyage to Lilliput in the source code for the site.
If you read her bio on the left hand side of this web site:
http://www.cafeshops.com/ilovebees.12518390?zoom=yes#zoom
you will see it says this
"The end of the World is upon us! I wont be selling these items after Aug 24th due to the BEE's."
not to mention the giant halo pic on the back of the shirt
7 is the all mighty number for bungie, and it turns up alot of times throughout the site:
ladybee777 is her user name
Danas profile says - (She bought me my All-Asia air pass in exchange for 7 years of indentured tech support
Seven years ago I started making my own honey and selling it at the Farmer’s market.
I would not only say this is bungie related, but halo 2 related as well. there is no way the game will be released the 24th (there still in the beta phase). Either way, the countdown would appear to be more than a hoax (an extremely elaborate one).
people are posting so fast that their taking the words right out of my mouth
posting so fast about an hour ago ;)
Most of the crypic messages have been found on this iste already so theres no use me pasting them all here again. But look at this, it came from the source code:
---------------------------------------------------
var chinatime = new Date(2004,7,24,6,7,0);
(/SCRIPT)
(script language=Javascript1.2 src="countdowntochina.js")(/script)(BR)
Make your decisions accordingly.(BR)(BR)(/font)(/div)
(cript language="JavaScript")
--------------------------------------------------
NOTE: no html is allowed in posts so i had to change tags to ().
See that the name of the script for the countdown timer is "countdowntochina"
Is that something usefull or just a random name?
The t-shirt site is thought to be a fake.
Chinatime is a reference to the trip dana was going to go on before all the trouble started.
hi all, i love this viral marketing tactic used by bungie its fun and amusing countdowntochina.js is the countdown to chinas release date of halo2.
'In 1 days, network throttling will erode.'
--completion of halo2
'In 15 days this medium will metastasize.'
--Halo 2 goes gold in china
this site, ilovebees.com is in NO WAY a real site about bees and everyone who is listed as Margaret or dana are fictious characters. ilovebees.com is hosted on rackspace.com which is used for HIGH BANDWIDTH. they knew this site would be hit by massive amounts of people.
this message will no doubt get deleted or edited soon i suspect by a bungie employee (who btw come here and post daily to keep the hype up)
this is yet another hype-producer much like the "cortana letters"
oh and BEE's = Bungie Easter Eggs
just click on "View" and then "Source". you can read everything.
i don't know if this is real or fake. i don't even know video games, or what "Halo" and "Keyes" you are talking about.
but does it matter? it's good entertainment. = ) peace out.
This was in the links page under fable of the bee.
The Fable of the Bee
The Queen of a hive of bees on Mount Hymettus rose up to
Olympus to make an offering of honey to almighty Zeus.
Zeus, delighted, swore that he would give her anything she
asked for.
"Wise and powerful is Almighty Zeus!" said the Queen Bee.
"Grant me, I pray you, a poison sting, so that when the humans
come to steal my honey, I may kill them."
Zeus was angry then, for he loved the race of men, but he could not break his promise. "You shall have your poison," he said, his brow like thunder. "But to use it will cost you your life. If you plunge your sting into the flesh of humankind, there it will stay, and you will die from the loss of it."
And the moral of the story is: evil wishes come home to roost.
Read the last line. Evil wishes come home to roost. Like the covenant and the flood coming to Earth?
Btw, I just started a blog site only to post on here.
I have a xanga site of the same sn.
Word to your mother!
havocgaming.com
Capt Keys Physical form did die, but his memories remain. The flood is called the flood for one main reason. They are one. They are many. They aquire their victims into their one self. Possibly millions of victims connected to form one being. Physically millions of separate beings, but all one system. Capt. Keys memories were aquired. As a part of those memories comes the location of Mother earth. Whom ever said the flood are comming was 100% correct! They are comming... If master Chief can't stop the floods arrival. Earth is finished.
It isn't that the flood is coming, I think it is already here when the covenant come. This quote is on the main page of the blog "One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug." I could be wrong, but at some point they start changing the human race.

The game is called HALO (where the flood were discovered), bungie knew they would be making a series, the flood will play a part in the 2nd, a developer said so in a Halo 2 article in EGM a year or two ago.
At E3, bungie let a lucky few play the Halo 2 multiplayer, xbox.com then follow e3 04 links.
August 24th --- dont OXM's usually ship about that time. My guess (with the BEE (Bungie Easter Egg)) someone also said SYSTEM PERYL message (single player playable demo)
Somebody said, "the covenant dont just attack humans" no shit, the tall Flood were infested elites. (look at one after you kill it, u can clearly see its head)
I have Fall of Reach, definately gonna get the rest now. Wish i still my old mac and marathon bundle "Oh my God!! They're everywhere!" The bonus audio track on #2, the civilians screamin to a beat was hilarious!!!!
My final theory: Were gettin a playable Halo 2 demo with our Sept. Issue of OXM.
My friend (Name Wants Not Announced) Has thought of somthing: Look beyond the text:
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX. could be Single Player Demo Released
(S P D R) Really, It proves worthy (he doesnt think its truthful but I do)
someone already brought that up, and it probably is true, but what will happen tomorrow, the network throttling day
I am betting that more websites will be revealed with more clues and the bees site will degrade further as the AI gets stronger and we will get more messages from the trapped entity.
I can't believe I signed up for a blogger accout...typing my precious password into some new server, just to tell you all how incredibly obvious it is that this "virus" is both fake and intentional, only to discover minutes later that many other people had pointed it out already. I figured it out by checking the source code, which includes both script for the phoney "bees" site, as well as script for the "virus." Reading through the comments, one will see that others have already made note of specific instances in the code, so there is no need for me to reiterate them here. Now what am I going to do with a blog?
Network throttler erodes tomorrow
