The Symbolism of Bees The words of the Nursery Rhyme associate the bee with weddings. Mead was obviously a favourite celebratory drink at weddings and the bee was the symbal of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. The bee has always symbolised Royalty and prosperity (probably due to the cluster of worker bees working for the Queen Bee) and was associated with the Egyptian God Ra, the Sun God. In recent history the Emperor Napoleon used the bee as a symbal on his coronation robes! |
