BEE PENDANT SILVER

Descriere

🐝 In ancient Egypt, the bee was the emblem of lower Egypt; a symbol of the giver of life, birth, death and resurrection. Ra was the sun God and Egypt’s most important deity. It was believed the tears of Ra upon falling from the sky and touching the desert sand transformed into working bees (honey bees).

The ancient Egyptians were the first to make artificial hives to harvest honey. Many hieroglyphic artworks depict the worshipping of Ra alongside the honey bee paying tribute to the giver of this “liquid gold”.

🐝In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, bees were associated with the underworld besides fertility. Believed to be a divine creature that could navigate between two realms – either the spheres of the dead and the living or that of humans and the Gods, bees were viewed as communicators carrying the messages from the heavens or the underworld to humans. It was also believed that if a baby’s lips were touched by a bee, he/she would become a great poet or orator.

☀️In Africa, the Kalahari San people tell the folklore tale of how the first human being came into existence. According to the tale, a bee was carrying a mantis across the turbulent river but became exhausted before reaching the other side. Placing the mantis upon a floating flower the bee planted a seed in the mantis’ body before drowning. When the sun came up and the mantis awoke, the seed had grown to become the first human being.

🔖The “Telling the Bees” is a 19th century European folklore custom believed to have originated from Celtic mythology. The custom involves the act of telling the bees when important events have taken place in the beekeeper’s household, such as a birth, death or marriage. It is believed failing to tell the bees of such events would result in loss, with the bees either abandoning the hive, stopping production of honey or simply dying

🌿 In Native American mythology, the bee is often referenced in cautionary tales to warn people to not disrespect nature. Bees are portrayed as mighty fierce warriors. Although small in size, they are perfectly capable of defending themselves against larger enemies – only a fool would underestimate their powerful nature.
