Bees leaving the hive foretold social chaos and dissolution. A single bee on a monarch — a sign of prosperous rule and a wise leader.

General meaning

The bee is one of the most revered symbols in human history. In ancient Egypt, bees were considered the tears of the god Ra and symbolized royal power. In Greek mythology, bees fed the infant Zeus. Orphic traditions called the bee ‘sacred’ as a creature living according to the natural laws of harmony and labor.

In dreams, the bee embodies the principle of collective labor for the common good. It is the symbol of a person who has found their place in society and works with inspiration. Honey is the metaphor for the result: sweetness is not obtained without labor, but those who work with heart will inevitably taste it.
