Where Do I Start With Pronouncing Scientific Names?

Yes, though in my experience it’s variable and can range from a hard American “b” to a soft buzzy one (halfway to an American “v”). So the name Victor might sound like “BEEK-tohr” but the word abeja might be closer to “ah-VAY-ha”. Edit: I realize I’m mixing “v” words and “b” words but that’s how I hear the sounds in Mexican Spanish - somewhat interchangeable.
