Honeybees must have HONEY to survive, particularly in winter, and so it is「necessary under roof (the hive, home) of insect.」Honeybees need a protected hive in order to make honey, so this glyph perhaps may be read as「roofed home, deliberately out-of-reach is necessary for this insect」and then bees can produce HONEY from NECTAR. This honey must be kept SECRET and guarded by the bees if at all possible by camouflaging or concealing the hive, since if a bear, human or other animal finds and takes all the honey from a hive, that hive's bees will soon starve as a result. For that reason, early honey gatherers soon learned never to remove all the honey from any single hive, keeping some「deliberately out-of-reach」for the bees to survive. In Chinese, this glyph refers to the supposedly SECRET sex partner of a married man, his HONEY, who from a wife's perspective is「deliberately kept out-of-reach」and like an「insect, viper invariably in the home」but if his HONEY (or honeypot) were denied, he may starve for sex as a result. Favored HONEYPOTS of a brothel or cave o' wonders, bursting with nectar honeydew, causing「sexually transmitted diseases」to appear「at home, emphasis on surrounding」a「stinking loose dripping rod orifice.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
