Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
This pond is situated south of Nandīśvara, near Yaśodā-kuṇḍa, and lies within a grove of trees and creepers that are laden with many kinds of flowers. Here, intoxicated bumblebees always buzz around, drinking nectar from the flowers. Kṛṣṇa plays with the sakhās in this forest and imitates the buzzing of the bees. One of the names for bumblebee is madhusūdana, and one of Kṛṣṇa’s names is also Madhusūdana. This is where the two Madhusūdanas buzz, and this pond is therefore known as Madhusūdana-kuṇḍa.

From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This kunda was famous for the great variety of beautiful flowers that grew here, as well as the large number of honey-bees that would collect nectar from all the flowers. Krishna enjoyed many pastimes at this place with His boyfriends and took great pleasure in hearing the tumultuous buzzing sound of the bees. The word ‘madhu’ or ‘madhu-mukhi’, as well as ‘madhusudana’, means a honey-bee. Madhusudana is also one of Krishna’s celebrated names, meaning ‘Killer of the demon Madhu’.
