The correct option is Black bee.

Bhramari Pranayama, also known as Humming Bee Breath, is a calming breathing practice in yoga. The name of this pranayama is derived from the Sanskrit word Bhramari, which translates to "black bee" or the female version of a humming bee. The practice is so named because during exhalation, the practitioner makes a humming sound that closely resembles the characteristic buzzing or humming sound of a black bee.
