Lonely at the top. People often forget you and fame is fickle.
Emily Dickinson
In Emily Dickinson's poem "Fame is a fickle food," the crow symbolizes the fickleness of fame itself. Just as the crow is unpredictable in its behavior and can come and go as it pleases, fame is also transient and uncertain, constantly changing and elusive. The crow serves as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of success and recognition.
Food is the nourishment that sustains life. By stating that fame is a food, the poet suggests that some people use it for nourishment. The real meaning of this metaphor lies in the use of the adjectives 'fickle" to describe the food, fame, and in the use of "shifting" to describe the plate used for serving fame. The poet also extends the metaphor and adds another layer of meaning when she references that crows, unlike man, actually inspect the food of fame, and see it for what it is, and flap past it to fame's opposite, the very basic farmer's corn, while men eat fame and die, suggesting that Nature is wiser than man. Obviously, Emily Dickinson is speaking of spiritual, not physical, death.
The phrase "whose crumbs the crows inspect" means it's something people will pick through very carefully to see what they can find. The phrase comes from an Emily Dickinson poem called Fame is a Fickle Food.
This is a line from a poem, Fame is a Fickle Food. Suggested meaning is that one moment you are famous, next minute you are not. You can be easily passed by, Fame is a fickle food Upon a shifting plate Whose table once a Guest but no A second time is set. Whose crumbs the crows inspect And with ironic caw Flap past it To the farmers corn - Men eat of it any die.

The phrase "the fame is a bee" does not contain an alteration or onomatopoeia. Alteration refers to a change in a word or phrase, while onomatopoeia involves words that imitate sounds. In this case, the phrase seems more metaphorical than related to sound or a play on words.
