Bees are ‘the wings of the mineral kingdom’, the voices of the plants, the midwives of fruits and berries. In biodynamic thinking, the minerals are always on the move, working to heal the planet and to produce abundant life. Weeds are their helpers, moving in to torn up areas to bring in the minerals the area needs to restore itself to full fertility. Bees essentially move the minerals into their new landscapes by pollinating the best of the best plants, and ensuring that they will continue to seed and thrive. In the work of the plants—generated by the gifts of the bees—Earth is restored one mineral at a time. When plants/weeds are no longer needed in an area and begin to become less productive as the minerals change and shift beneath them, the bees don’t bother to pollinate these weakening plants, ensuring that they will die out to be replaced by other plants that can now better serve in that particular niche ~ Susan Knilans.
They work tirelessly to ensure that the cycles of life on this planet continue; their reward is that of being close to the humming mysteries of creation. These creatures live within a universe of frequencies and sensitivities that connect them deep into the ground, all around the planet, and even to the other planets and stars of our solar system. They listen with their very souls, and hear the messages that the life-force sends to all beings ~ sonkri04
The Sumerian stele above is one of many believed by alternative history writers to depict figures of alien origin. However, more measured interpretations believe that this scene, and others like it, depict the worship of the Mother Goddess, manifest as a Queen Bee or Bee Goddess; a figure who is frequently adorned by her followers – the Bee Priestesses. This should not be viewed as unusual, for honey was regarded by Sumerian physicians as a unique and vital medicinal drug. In fact, it has been suggested that the Sumerians invented Apitherapy, or the medical use of Honey Bee products such as honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis and bee venom. And least we forget, it was the Bee that led ancient man to the plants whose hallucinogens transported consciousness into the spirit world of the gods.
The Bee featured prominently in another ancient culture – the Dogon, a tribe from the West African region of Mali whose Nommo ancestors and Sirian mythology were made famous by Robert Temple in his book, The Sirius Mystery. The Dogon belief system is ancient, and until approximately 140 AD, its zodiac featured the Bee as the symbol of the constellation presently occupied by Libra. The Bee’s position in the Dogon Zodiac is significant to esoteric thought leaders such as Cabalists, who recognize the Bee’s role in establishing balance and harmony in the zodiac – and in life ~ Andrew Gough.
