{{quote|I know a lot of people will never know or care about whether we use even a semi-rigorous kind of syntax: but for those people who do, I think we have a chance to tell a story, to talk to them in a way nobody has ever talked to them before.|Jim Stewartson<ref>'''[[i love bees]]''', DVD</ref>}}

'''Flea++''', as it has been named by ''Halo'' fans in reference to [[Wikipedia:C++|C++]], is a programming and command line syntax seen in the ''[[I love bees|I Love Bees]]'' alternate reality game. It is used by the [[System Peril Distributed Reflex|SPDR]] and the [[Seeker]] (aka "Pious Flea"). The former's use of the language may imply that the language is used in other [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] constructs.

The language includes several operators. An exclamation mark prefixed to a word indicates that the word is a command. An angle bracket (">") in the middle of a statement tends to denote a question or some uncertainty; two such brackets (">>") serve as a highly-context-sensitive operator denoting some association.<ref>[[Halopedia:Apocalypso Chat|Apocalypso Chat]]. <tt><Jim> the >> was more or less a catch-all for something highly associated with another thing</tt></ref>

Note that some commands were used exclusively by the Seeker. Such commands may not be used by the [[UNSC]].
