The Red Bee's secret identity is Rick Raleigh, assistant district attorney in Superior City. His superhero modus operandi is to put on a red costume and, with his trained bees and "stinger gun", fight Nazis and gangsters. His favourite Bee was named Michael and lived inside his belt buckle for use in special circumstances. The character never became very popular, and was largely forgotten until he reappeared in DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, where it was retconned that he had been killed by the Nazi supervillain Baron Blitzkrieg. He also appeared as a ghost in the pages of Starman. Other appearances include a cameo in Animal Man in which the character resided in a cancelled character's "limbo", and in Bizarro Comics , where he and his agent were attempting to improve his marketability.

Red clover is a highly important forage legume, although much of the acreage formerly in red clover has been diverted to alfalfa growing.
Red clover is a short-life herbaceous perennial plant that grows to a height of 15 to 36 inches.
When the bee exerts pressure with its head on the keel petals, the stigma and the anthers are excerted or "tripped" and come in contact with the bee, usually on the posterior part of the head (Woodrow 1952b).
