The Hive
Thou seemst ~ a little diety!
Anacreon, Ode 34,
To the bee {fifth century BC}
Chapter 2, p59 " How would Human beings ever have made love to each other without honey and bee to help them? It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that, in all cultures and at all times, honey and love have enjoyed a special relationship. Not only has honey been the literal food of lovers, it has provided them with the words for expressing their love..."

Heart of Bumble Bee
The Bumble Bee
Unlike the honeybee, the bumblebee usually has fewer individuals in its colony. They do not store large amounts of honey like the honeybee does. Bumblebees are one of the few insects that can control their body temperature. In cold weather the queen and her workers can shiver their flight muscles to warm themselves allowing them to fly and work at lower temperatures than most other insects. Their large size and hairy coat also helps to keep them warm.
Yogi masters have been known to quiet their heartbeat and adjust their body temperatures when in an altered state. This skill is linked to the ancient initiations of mastering the body, mind and spirit. Those with this totem usually have strong past life ties connected to the ancient secrets of longevity and can benefit from the study and practice of yoga. They also make good hypnotherapists.
All bees are productive. They remain focused in their activities and do not get distracted from their goal. Their legs are one of their most sensitive organs. A bee actually tastes through its legs and reminds us to slow down, smell the roses and taste the sweet nectar of life. Hypoglycemia and diabetes can sometimes occur in those who carry this medicine. Therefore daily exercise and good nutrition is advised.
The bumblebee carries the power of service. They are important pollinators of many plants. As a bee lands upon one flower, collecting its nectar, pollen also attaches itself to the leg fibers. It is then transferred to other flowers, creating a fertilization process. Their movement from one plant to another symbolizes the interconnectedness of all living things. The bumblebee is a messenger that holds the secrets of life and service.
If your energy is scattered the bumblebee can show you how to regain focus. If it stings you, it is saying, wake up and follow the rhythm of your own heartbeat. When a bumblebee buzzes you it is asking you to follow its lead. In so doing you will arrive at the destination most appropriate for your new life awakening.

Bee Totem…
Fertility and the Honey of Life,Accomplishing the Impossible
Bees are the symbol of fertility and sexuality.Its honeycomb, a hexagon, is the symbol of the heart andrepresents the sweetness of life found within our own heart.It is also the symbol of the sun and all its energies.
The bee reminds us to extract the honey of lifeand to make our lives fertile (productive) while the sun shines.No matter how great the dream is, there is the promise of fulfillmentif we pursue our dreams.
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 making time to savor the honey of life and not becoming a workaholic?
The Bee is the symbol of accomplishing the impossible.Aerodynamically, its body is too large for its wings and should not be able to fly.Although now we understand how it does fly (high rate of wing movement),the Bee remains a symbol of accomplishing anything you put your mind to
In Hinduism, the Bee relates to Vishnu, Krishna or Kama, the God of Love.In Egypt, the Bee symbolized royalty.In Greece, it was the symbol of the Eleusinian Mysteries.The Celts associated the Bee with hidden wisdom

Bee - The bee is the messanger of the gods. If he comes buzzing into your life, take note. You may be receiving a message from Spirit. Alternately, you could be getting a message to do a little less and just be still for awhile! When we take the time to just be, we clear our minds to receive divine guidance.

Blessings to the bumble bee
Woke in morning in our evolving home
Camping inside with a log burning fire,
breath solidifying in the merging morning.
Tip toe in dust laden crazy paved floor into maze of wire snakes and ladders.
I feel an emerging presence stirring by my naked toes.
A giant thunder in still tiny translucent wings,
small round and furry with black many eyed face stirred by the sun.
Legs swimming.
With heart pounding ~ into my hand I scoop,
fearful of a burning sting I run,
to a crisp golden sheltered spot,
placing down into ash and fallen leaves.
Two days of frost follow.
I find the Bee,
silent and cold.
Blessings to the bumble bee
