What is the role of bees?

Bee fits a very specific role in nature pollinating other plants; this is necessary to the on-going life cycle of many crops. It also delivers humans with wax and honey, giving Bee the additional symbolic value of providence. Einstein believed so deeply in the importance of Bees to the ecosystem that he predicted if Bees disappeared, humans would not survive more than four years afterward. 

The pollination process also symbolizes our social nature. Bees live and work as a community. As they go from flower to flower, that progression enriches the world. Bee people very often become motivational speakers, teachers, healers and lightworkers for the greater global village. Their language of love is mindful service.

Some ancient Greek teachings also speak of Bee-Nymphs who were said to be born of the corpses of sacrificial Bulls (themselves emblematic of fertility). These sacred Bees were considered to be intermediaries between the Divine and Mundane planes.

Bees are also said to have taught divination to Hermes Apollo through the form of the Melissae Priestesses, according to Homer.
