Honeybees are an integral part of our natural world. They pollinate the majority of our crops and trees, giving us the food we eat and the air we breathe. But bees also hold a spiritual significance for humanity. They are present in religious life, from the Bible to monasteries. What is it about these tiny insects that connects them to the divine<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Bees in the Bible<\/b><\/p>\n

Bees are mentioned multiple times in the Bible. Bees in a swarm are often viewed as a prophetic occurrence. In the story of Samson, bees appear in the carcass of a lion he kills, symbolizing a victorious triumph over evil. In the Book of Judges, Deborah was a prophetess who spoke the words of God. Deborah\u2019s Jewish name, Devorah, translates to \u201cbee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honey in the Bible<\/b><\/p>\n

Honey is referenced in the Bible over 60 times and is usually synonymous with purity and abundance. Exodus 3:17 describes the Promised Land for the Israelites as \u201ca land flowing with milk and honey.\u201d Proverbs 24:13 states \u201cEat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.\u201d And in the Gospel of Luke, when Jesus appears to his disciples after the Resurrection, they give him a piece of fish and a honeycomb to eat.<\/p>\n

Monastic Bees<\/b><\/p>\n

Beehives are an important part of most monasteries. The bees pollinate the monastery\u2019s gardens and crops and the monks sell the honey to visitors. The structure of a monastery is sometimes compared to the structure of a beehive \u2013 a community that works together with each member having its specific purpose. Thomas de Cantimpre, a Flemish monk, wrote that \u201cboth the unity and the virgin purity of the bees should serve as an example to the monks. Stillness should fall upon the convent in the evening, as it does upon the hive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patron Saint of Beekeeping<\/b><\/p>\n

St. Ambrose is the patron saint of beekeepers<\/a>. According to legend, his father saw a swarm of bees land on his mouth when he was an infant. They brought him honey and did not sting him. His father took it as a sign from God that his son would grow up to be a great orator. St. Ambrose did in fact become an important preacher and was often described as a \u201choney-tongued doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holy Beeswax<\/b><\/p>\n

Beeswax is considered to be a holy substance. In monasteries with hives, monks used the beeswax to create candles for their services. According to historian Bee Wilson, this made the bee significant for early Christians, writing \u201cthe bee was a sacred being because it made sacred wax; and wax was holy because the bee was holy.\u201d The bees were associated with candles and the holy light they provided. \u201cIn Christian worship,\u201d she writes, \u201cthe flame of the candle represented Christ, the light of the world; the wick represented his soul; and the wax was his spotless body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bees\u2019 Divine Work<\/b><\/p>\n

The very work that bees do \u2013 pollinating the land and helping the plants and crops grow \u2013 has been compared to holy work. A Byzantine farming book from the 10-century called Geoponika<\/i> shows us the importance of bees: \u201cThe bee is the wisest and cleverest of all animals and the closest to man in intelligence; its works is truly divine and of the greatest use to mankind.\u201d St. Francis de Sales<\/a> viewed the bee\u2019s work as pure, writing that \u201cthe bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them.\u201d Reverend L. L. Langstroth, a father of modern day beekeeping<\/a>, said \u201cthe Creator may be seen in all the works of his hands; but in few more directly than in the wise economy of the Honey-Bee.\u201d<\/p>\n
