From Middle English bike, byke (“a nest of wild bees or wasps”, also “honeycomb”). Of unknown origin. Perhaps a back-formation of Middle English bykere (“beekeeper”), from Old English bēocere (“beekeeper”); or from Old English bȳc a byform of Old English būc (“belly; vessel; container”). Compare also Old Norse bý (“bee”).
apparently it’s for bees and wasps too. to me this is no weirder than murder for crows
