Yeah, well honey attracts more fly's than vinegar.
BEE'S.. attracts BEES. You are mixing 2 different sayings.
No, he's not. The flies saying is the original.
Benjamin Franklin, 1744: "Tart Words make no Friends: a spoonful of honey will catch more flies than Gallon of Vinegar."
And if you search for the saying with bees half the results on the first page are for the flies saying, and just goes up after page 1.
