"Bee" isn't a very important word to say for a non-english speaker because it isn't something you need to know how to say to carry a conversation. Rather, a non-english speaker could learn the word "insect" or "bug" to describe a bee or any other insect for that matter. They could use these two word to describe ants, butterflies, grasshoppers, and more. Yet, English speakers wouldn't even hesitate in knowing what the non-english speaker means by "insect" or "bug". Therefore, a non-english speaker would not need to know the word "bee".

I hope my answer helps!

"Bee" has no meaning to a person who doesn't speak English, because it isn't a word you say everyday. It isn't very important to know what a bee is because it is just a bug, and bugs aren't very important to somebody who doesn't speak English. If people want to learn English, then they would need to know something we say everyday and that is important to everyday life, like food or sleep, not bee.
