The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.
Enjot today’s cryptogram
The only thing male bees do is have sex with the queen.
True, but not with their own hive’s queen, has to be with queens from another hive. I’m a beekeeper, by the way.
Question: I’m not complaining, but what made you post about honeybees? (asklig for a friend)
Great cartoon - a keeper
Oooooo, YES. I like your image better than mine, it fits the quote better.
But I thought this one was cute ...
Think of that great feeling you get when the number of socks that come out of the dryer equals the number of socks that went into the washer.
I was a beekeeper for many years. I miss it so much.
Mine have it particularly bad. Whew.
Look at the author’s screen credits.

Bee Movie - he voiced a male worker bee.
Ahhhhh, now I understand what you were saying. I had forgotten that was him. Back when that movie was in theaters and all the kids were going to see it, I was volunteering at the after-school Boys and Girls Club and taught them about honey bees. With a grant we bought a big beautiful observation hive that we installed on the wall in the rec room. The bees could fly outside through a plexiglass tube. I had a terrible time trying to explain to the kids why the movie had drone bees doing all the work.
