\"Your words are bees about a pear-tree\" is an example of a:. a. metaphor. b. hyperbole. c. simile. d. paradox

The correct answer to this question is letter " a. metaphor." Your words are bees about a pear-tree. From that statement, it is comparing words to the bees without the use of any keywords like "like and as ... as." So this is definitely a metaphor, not a simile.
