    What is 'pchelenka' ?

    ok, ok, someone refers to me as "Pchelenka", and I have no idea what this means, Is it bad? LOL

    I can't figure out the spelling, so I'm not finding it in my dictionary.

    Пчелёнка.

    -ёнк-(а) (or -онк-(а))

    Словообразовательная единица, выделяющаяся в имени существительном женского рода с уменьшительно-уничижительным или с уменьшительно-ласкательным значением (душонка, избёнка, лошадёнка, ручонка, сестрёнка, собачонка, старичонка и т.п.)

    So the name is either caressing or deteriorative. To my ear it is the second.

    I think the original word had nothing to do with bees, just a wrongly heard/written word. nobody call a little bee "pchelenka"

    It can be genitive from пчелёнок, but even this word is uncommon
