Wonon
Mayanist scholar Allen J. Christenson (2007: n622) notes that wonon, for present-day K'iche' people, refers to "the honeybee of the stinging type introduced from Europe. Many Quiché communities, particularly in the region around Momostenango, cultivate these bees for their honey. The Precolumbian Maya kept bees and harvested their honey, but these were of a stingless variety. ... Coto lists wonon as a hornet, or the stinger of a wasp or hornet." In the Popol Wuj, wonon certainly sting, as do their related insect weapon, sita'l (wasps).
