The Blessed Work of Bees is Linked to Higher Realms

”I wish to see the Honeybee in thee.”

As with so many living beings in our era, bees are facing unprecedented challenges. Recent reports — which I have confirmed — reveal that the largest bee die-off ever recorded has just occurred. But the importance of bees extends far beyond agriculture. Across history and cultures, bees have been revered as sacred beings, messengers between worlds, and a direct reflection of the divine order in nature.

In school, I was taught that bees were simply insects that pollinated crops. But experience — and observation of Nature — has taught me differently. Bees are master navigators, using the sun’s position, magnetic fields, and polarized light to find their way. Research going back to the 20th century, including the Nobel Prize-winning work of Karl von Frisch in 1967, revealed that bees navigate using the sun and polarized light patterns. Later, in 1981, V. Kirschvink demonstrated that bees also have a magnetic compass, allowing them to sense the Earth’s magnetic fields for orientation. Scientific studies led by Dr. Mandyam Srinivasan at the University of Queensland showed that bees possess UV-sensitive photoreceptors, allowing them to perceive wavelengths between approximately 300–400 nanometers — revealing intricate ultraviolet patterns on flowers that human eyes cannot detect. The world a bee sees is far richer and more vibrant than we were ever taught.

Bees also dance — literally — to communicate. The famous “waggle dance,” decoded by Karl von Frisch, is a sophisticated language that conveys the distance, direction, and quality of food sources. In a world where so much human communication has degraded into noise and confusion, bees remind us that true communication is efficient, purposeful, and completely in harmony with the natural environment.

Ancient traditions understood the sacred nature of the bee. In the Bible, the promised land is described as “a land flowing with milk and honey” (Exodus 3:8), signifying abundance and divine blessing. In Greek mythology, the Oracle at Delphi was originally associated with a bee goddess, and priestesses were sometimes called melissae (μέλισσαι), meaning bees. The ancient Pythia, serving at the Delphic temple, was deeply linked to the symbolism of bees — an association explored in works like The Sacred Bee in Ancient Times and Folklore by Hilda Ransome (1937). Across traditions, bees were seen as bridges between the earthly and spiritual realms. The deeper wisdom, echoed by thinkers like Rudolf Steiner, reminds us that in the bee, Nature reveals a profound and sacred truth.

Even today, ancient traditions surrounding bees continue to surface. “Telling the bees” Was a real and widespread custom, especially in Celtic, British, and early American folklore. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, “telling the bees” Refers to the traditional practice in which bees are formally informed of major life events — especially a death — so that they do not abandon the hive or perish. This practice, documented as far back as 19th-century England and New England America, involved softly speaking to the bees after a death, sometimes even draping the hives in black cloth as a sign of mourning. Folklore held that if the bees were not told, misfortune would follow: the bees might die, desert the hive, or stop producing honey.

Beyond tradition, there are modern accounts that echo this mystery. In 2016, The Telegraph (UK) reported that dozens of bees clustered around the grave of beekeeper John Bavin during his funeral at St. Mary’s Church. The phenomenon stunned mourners and revived public discussion of the old custom. While mainstream science has offered no clear explanation for such events, they serve as reminders that our bond with Nature — and its higher mysteries — is deeper and more profound than we are taught. Where the bee is, there is life, health, and the sacred pulse of the earth.

The dangers facing bees are also dangers facing humanity: pesticides, EMF pollution, habitat loss, and environmental degradation. Colony collapse disorder is not just a bee issue — it’s a warning. A broken bond with Nature has consequences. And when beings so connected to the higher order of life suffer, it is a sign that humanity must reexamine its course.

There are paths back to balance. Shungite, a natural carbon mineral with unique electromagnetic properties, has been shown through research — including a 2001 study by M. Golod on the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of shungite — to offer protection against certain types of radiation. Creating clean, pesticide-free sanctuaries and learning to live in resonance with the natural world can still make a difference. Solutions are still within reach, but they require awareness, humility, and action.

Nature teaches without falsehood. Bees teach without deception. Their message is clear if we are willing to listen: real abundance flows from living in harmony with the divine order of life.
If the stinger is all you see, you have missed the true nature — and importance — of the honeybee.

I’d like to wish you all a happy, healthy, and higher-minded and vibrational new era.
