Bees are focused foragers; they create dance moves to convey to one another the location of rich flowering spots. They have powerful nesting instincts. In several ancient cultures, they represent a bridge between the underworld and ours. In others, they’re related to earth and crops, to life and fertility. They’re persistent, they’re caring, they’re relentless. Their work is neat, precise, meant to help flowering plants mate, meant to foster and maintain life.
What perfect beings to express the female might!
With their mouths and bodies, they transform nectar into honey. Honey: a representation of richness and plenty; a symbol of the spoken and written word; a powerful medicine giver of life; a key element of marriage and love ceremonies for Viking, Egyptian, Hindu, Galland, Polish, Greek peoples and many more.
What a wonderful allegory of the feminine power!
