    Bees have been mythical symbols throughout recorded history.

    In Hinduism, depending upon how depicted (and the possibilities are truly endless) the bee could relate to Vishnu, Krishna or even Kamma the god of love god forbid ! In Egypt it denoted royalty. In Greece, it was used in the symbology of the Eleusinian Mysteries and that’s a phrase I rarely mention to close friends; while the Celts associated it with hidden wisdom. Then again most of Celtic wisdom tends to be bloody hidden as they left no bloody written records. Probably the most significant and consistent symbolism is that of sexuality and fertility, due primarily to it’s stinger and it’s part in pollination. But of course you already knew that.

    Bees are also long-time symbols for accomplishing the impossible. For many years, scientists were unable to determine how bees were able to fly. Aerodynamically, the body was too large for the wings, and this was proved accurate when I once tried in my back garden. It has only been in more recent times that science determined bees could move their wings at such a high rate of speed that flight is made possible. Still, it remains to many as a symbol of accomplishing quests that appeared to be impossible, such as having a decent conversation in JC lobby.

    All bees are essentially “honey” bees don’t you know. They gather and they polinate. Bees are often considered the busiest and most useful of insects. Without them no flowers and many fruits would never blossom, and I would be left to present the rankest of weeds to my loved one with a sad but essentially loveable expression. It occurs through the pollination. As the bees land upon one flower, collecting its nectar, pollen also attaches itself to the leg fibers. it is then transferred to other flowers, creating a fertilisation process. You can try this yourself when you think no one’s looking.

    Pollination is just one productive process the bee participates in. There really aren’t enough hours in the bee-day. It also furnishes a food known as honey, and it preys on other insects, helping to keep the general population in balance. Bees that build their homes in the gound help turn the soil, often much better than the earthworm ( or as I prefer to call it, DOA) itself !

    If a bee has shown up in your life, examine your own productivity.

    Are you doing all you can to make your life more fertile?
    Are you busy enough?
    Are you taking time to savor the honey of your endeavors or are you once again being a workaholic?
    Are you attempting to do too much?
    Are you keeping your desires in check so they can be more productive?
