Hey mine too.  

There are certain stories that have characters that just stay in one's mind.
Transcension has Matthewmark, Amanda, Abdel-Malik, the liar bees.  Calling
them tempting bees is logical: that's what they actually did.  They
suggested to the True Believer that there might be something seriously wrong
with his memetic infrastructure.  

The liar bees were simultaneously a plot device and a symbol.  Consider for
instance a man who observes beasts but has always been a creationist.  He
sees things that are remarkable consistent with the notion of evolution,
tempting the True Believer to doubt, like the liar bees in Transcension.
The liar bees eventually come in swarms.

Damien Transcension is brilliant work pal.
