The term "spelling bee" is thought to have originated from the Middle English word "bene," meaning prayer, combined with "bee," which symbolizes a gathering of people working together. In this case, participants are like worker bees, collectively working together to spell words correctly.

Where can you find the 2012 district pronouncer guide?

First of all, unless you know a lot of SEO - Search Engine Optimization, which is what the web uses to make their websites private and publicly popular, otherwise you won't find it on the web. You can easily find study lists, but either way, it won't actually help. HEXCO is a rip off, it sells by having spelling bee champions advertise, it is a total rip off - HEXCO sells "study lists" that are "allegedly going to help you" - the only one that actually helps is the HEXCO OPTIMUM, it is a total cheat, all of the spelling bee words from school to district to national spelling bee are on there, but I think they only sell it illegally now, since it violates scripps.
