DEFINE HIVE BEE?
The definition of a Hive BEE differs from person to person depending on who defines it. This is made possible because of the nature of our truly decentralized HIVE.
A Hive Bee can be a good content creator or simply good at engagement by making valuable comments. A productive BEE does not always have to be in front of everyone's eyes all the time, just like how developers are working or witnesses making sure the system is decentralized and running smoothly. A Hive BEE can also be someone working to provide other BEEs with a better environment to enjoy.

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT A BEE?
You don't need anyone's permission to support your other fellow bees in a decentralized system. The Best way to support your fellow BEEs can be by putting them in auto vote in some people's perspective, but what if they don't post much or your auto votes make their content over rewarded thus not making much difference? Do we even need a Patron service that is centralized and takes a 12% cut, Or buymeberries with a 3% fee, Or buymeacoffe with a 5% fee?
Where do you draw the line for the best way to support your buddy, or someone you are a fan of or simply think doesn't earn much compared to the work they do?
I got inputs from people in my DMS or even in their posts talking about my work vs incentive ratio. First of all, I do what I feel like doing and I don't bother about earning more or less. It's just me being me. On the other hand, I am also not stopping anyone who is interested to show more support to me. In fact, I would highly appreciate it if someone is supporting my work in any form, or just moral support. So what should someone do, who likes to incentivize me more or any other BEE? In my opinion, we already have a Support/Patreon system where we can delegate to other people. I found it a much better way of supporting your favorite BEEs as it doesn't have a limit on how much or how many people can increase the financial incentives of other HIVE BEEs without giving a cut or fee to anyone.
CLOSING THOUGHTS:
It's all about community. If you think you want to support a BEE either for their good content, management, antiabuse, development, or witness nodes, all you have to do is just make a generous delegation. Not Everyone has to be witness to earn more or have proposals for funding. If you genuinely think you want to support me, just don't abuse the system, engage with others, and make HIVE a better place for everyone. If you want to delegate also, nobody is stopping you.
