So fly is she. Muhasto in Slovene means ‘fly-like’ and by extension

Old Bulgar Words:

MUKHI

– Bulgarian apicultural name of the bees.
At first glance, it seems to be same as the Slavic (Bulgarian as well)
word MUKHA (‘a fly’),
but in Persian, in the Pamirian l-s the bees are called MUSH.

And the same word is also found in the lands of the former Volga Bulgars,
where the Mari MUKSH means ‘bees’ [RMS, 620].
Probably this name for the bees was connected with an old Bulgar
bee-keeping tradition with origins in the Persian, Pamirian regions.

To know what means my dear Tom the word "mu" and whats the etymology of
this word is
you have to know and speak the language of the nobles people ;-))

A litle tip it's the same like the german word "mu-ke" or the english
word "mi-dge" ;-)
