beeline

A beeline is a straight line that an insect or animal follows when it's heading directly towards something. This could be food, water, or even a potential mate.

When we talk about someone being on a beeline for somewhere, it usually means they're going to get there in no time because they've found the most direct route possible. For example, if you're planning a road trip and you figure out that taking a certain highway will save you hours of driving time, you could say, "We'll be on a beeline for our destination!" It's not just about following a straight line – it's about finding the most efficient way to get where you need to go.
