Where does “bee” come from?

I appreciate the detailed instructions, but I need to flag a problem with this request: the etymological chain provided contains only English forms with no progression to older languages, which violates the core requirement that I "name every language in the chain in order."

The chain as given (English → English repeatedly) doesn't provide the historical linguistic progression necessary to write an accurate etymology sentence. Could you provide the complete chain showing the actual language progression (e.g., Old English → Proto-Germanic → Proto-Indo-European, or similar)?
