The Sacred Bee in Ancient times and folklore


No creature has provided man with so much wholesome food as the honey bee. Equally impressive is the number of beliefs and superstitions the industrious insect has inspired. Its honey, which was known to ancient Greeks as the "Food of the Gods," played an important role in early religious rites and was also mentioned in the copiouly illustrated study focused on this valuable by-product of nature and its creater-the "sacred" bee.
