The Bee's Spiritual Meaning

Spiritual Creatures – The Honeybee

Since ancient times, the Bee has always been a symbol of wealth, prosperity, luck and even miracles.  The flowers and plants I grow in my garden are chosen specifically to attract Bees.  It is so lovely and calming to watch them on a sunny day going about their business.  I will kneel down close and talk to them (neighbours probably think I am nuts!) as a Bee has absolutely no intention of harming you unless they feel you are a threat. They are aware if they sting, it is the end of their life and it is a slow death.

When a Bee appears in your life suddenly, the most common message it carries is to do with your levels of productivity. Sometimes we are doing too much, other times not enough.  The Bee Spirit has a strong work ethic, but it also knows the importance of stopping and smelling the flowers. So, if one lands on your shoulder or your hand, don’t swat it away; it is there to bring you prosperity.

Why are Bees so magical?  Technically speaking, a Bee should not be able to fly – it’s design is wrong aerodynamically. From a spiritual perspective, this speaks of our own limitations and how to move past them successfully. It’s doubtful that Bee knows it shouldn’t fly – however it keeps spreading its wings and so can you.  Miracles can and do happen.

If you are stuck in a rut and every day feels like a grind, remember a Bee can work continuously, but still enjoy the freedom of life and so can you; stay positive and embrace the opportunities that come your way.
