The use of bees as a symbol
Our history has presented the bee as a symbol of power, luck, determination, and harmony, but it also linked to life’s strongest and most powerful feeling – love. Bees are the creators of honey, which is where the word ‘honey’ in terms of love derives from, used in romantic poetry in Sumerian and Egyptian times. The hexagonal pattern of the honeycomb has six sides, which is the sacred number of Venus, the Goddess of Love. In Celtic cultures, honey wine was seen as the drink of immortality and everlasting love – giving the ability to ‘sweet talk’.
Due to the great reliance in sustaining life, bees have been used as symbols throughout history. For the Mayans, the bee was seen as the bringer of life and abundance, in Ancient Judaism, they represented a peaceful society, with people working in harmony. In Ancient Egypt, they were seen as born from the tears of their Sun God, representing the Pharoah’s sovereignty. Today, bees can be seen as symbols for community, friendship, hard work, joy, and love.
