Bee

The bee is the small maker of sweetness. Greek tradition associated the bee with Demeter and with the Delphic priestesses, the Melissae. Egyptian mythology credits bees as the tears of Ra. Jungian analysis reads bee-dreams as the arrival of shared, patient work producing something nourishing. A swarm of bees in a dream is not always threatening; often it is the psyche acknowledging the vast cooperative labor happening beneath the waking self’s attention. Notice whether you are stung, and where.
