The ancient Druids saw the bee as symbolising the sun, the Goddess, celebration, and community. At festivals, mead was usually drunk – the main ingredient of which is fermented honey.
In later Christian times, monks lived in beehive-shaped huts, which represented the aim of a harmonious community – whether it included oneself and Spirit or others as well.
Bumblebees usually have fewer individuals in their colonies and store less honey compared with the honeybee. Bumblebees are one of few insects that have the ability to control their body temperature. The queen bee and her workers can shiver their flight muscles to warm themselves in cold weather. This allows them to fly and work at lower temperatures than most other insects. They are also kept warm by their large size and hairy coat.
Some yogi masters are able to slow their heartbeat and adjust their body temperatures when in an altered state. This ability is associated to the ancient initiations of mastering the body, mind and spirit.
Those with this power animal more often than not have strong past life connections to the ancient secrets of longevity and can benefit from yoga. They also make good hypnotherapists.
ALL bees are productive, they stay focused on whatever they are doing and do not get sidetracked from their goal. Their legs are one of their most sensitive organs- they actually use them to taste. We are being reminded by the bee to slow down, to smell the flowers and taste the sweet nectar of life.
Those with this power animal may have hypoglycaemia and diabetes. Hence, regular exercise and good nutrition is advisable.
The bumblebee is a highly important pollinator of many plants, they hold the power of service. When landing upon a flower to collect its nectar, pollen also attaches itself to the leg. This is then passed on to other flowers, creating a fertilisation process. Their movement from one plant to plant represents the interconnectedness of all living things. The bumblebee is a messenger bringing the secrets of life and service.
If this is your power animal and your energy is scattered, the bumblebee can show you how to become focused once more.
If you are stung, the message here is – WAKE UP and follow the rhythm of your own heartbeat. Listen to your true self, your higher self. Heed your inner voice and wisdom.
If bumblebee finds you, you must follow its lead. If you do this you will come to the destination most suited for your new life awakening.
Last night i dreamt of a very light golden-yellow Bee which landed on my hand, i felt very blessed – this morning i am minded to share the Bee Myth;

This resonates for sure✨
I keep getting followed by a pair, not the Same pair of course. One was sitting on my door step and wouldn’t move. Lol.
I prayed, Lord I’m sorry for what you see every day in the world. Forgive us! Help us turn to you again.
I am at work, “in a bar”…. A huge bumble be buzzed by my head as i said this. I let it out the window with no problems at all.
It made my heart race with happiness and excitement
I have let 5 out unharmed. I got here because I was checking on the totem energy. God bless
Wow just a couple of minutes ago I found a bee on my stairs but released it back outside
I am terrified of insects and bugs and creepy-crawlies yet they constantly buzz around or peg me in the head, crawl on my body, stand and stare at me or, as is my experience this evening, find themselves in my container of raspberries from Costco. Anyways, my friends started telling me to stop squishing them and start looking in to the meaning behind their visits. I’m not kidding, they’re frequent. Spiders, wasps, giant red termites, and tonight, bees. What I have been reading is truly amazing. Beyond symbolic. I have been ignoring my higher purpose and I’m not being allowed to pretend anymore. Just ,Wow!
The week I returned from visiting a Hindu Monastery in Kauai, bumble bees started showing up inside my front door. A pair, then 1 every other day. Five so far. It’s cold here, they are alive but hibernation faze. Strongly feel a message!

We The Bees Speak is a Communique I had with the Bee Consciousness as part of a set of Discourses about the Elemental, Deva and Nature Kingdoms. Here is a link to that Discourse if you are interested. Bless You! Copy and paste to your brower.

My whole life, no matter where I live, I have a single guard bee. They greet me then guard me as long as I’m outside. They guard my children now too! I finally started looking today to figure out why and what they mean. Thank you for the information and whoa am I scattered ha!
I wish k read this first I am scared of bee stings so I ran away. But I will take it as a sign for what the bumble bee interprets
I have had now 2 dreams in the past year about Bees , honeycomb.
The first dream was about my father who has passed awhile back came to me in dream I was sad and not feeling well and in dream he spoke and said here daughter eat this will make you well and it was a honeycomb shaped like a miniature bee hive and I took and woke up .
Second dream recently I was around trees and a lot of bushes very green and a sworm of bees were coming out of every tree and bush sworming in the air but I was not afraid only in awe of how many were present in numbers then woke up ! I know my spirit tells me within these two dream have a deep meaning that’s important! This article was helpful !
I opened the front door to see a bumblebee a few days ago who did not look very good sitting on my front step I sat with him/her a while he didn’t fly away or anything he just seemed a bit lost and slow cleaning himself or rubbing his head as he grazed back and forth.. I told the rest of the house not to step on him if they should leave and then went on with my day afraid that tampering with him would cause him more harm. He was gone when i returned i dont know if a bird from my tree got him or if he found a way to go home. His presence was a blessing though i suppose it could have been a bad omen… What if you have a dying bee visit you? But then again i dont speak bee so how am I to really know he was dying….? But if he was… What would that mean???
