Below are the most common bee encounters and inquiries and what they may mean for you.
What does a bumble bee symbolize spiritually?
Bees play a vital role in our world. They’re necessary to keep our ecosystem as healthy as can be. Their main contribution to our ecosystem is that they pollinate flowers.
And they also produce honey. I am mentioning this because there is a connection between how healthy a bumblebee is and the health of the environment. Especially in the environment in which a bumblebee lives.
That being said, a bumblebee cannot live in an unhealthy environment. Bumblebees are linked to many food sources within an ecosystem.
What a bumblebee symbolizes spiritually is fertility. A bumblebee symbolizes giving birth as it fertilizes the flowers. A bumblebee also symbolizes new beginnings in life.

Bumblebees use the stinger to protect themselves from enemies trying to hurt them. As humans, we protect ourselves from their sting by wearing gloves and we keep our distance.
We respect their boundaries because of the immense power of their sting. Spiritually, what a bumble bee symbolizes is the importance of setting boundaries. They show us how important it is to have energetic protection.
And also demanding energetic respect from others.
Bumblebees organize their hives in a divine nature. They use their power of interconnectedness, instinctual knowledge, and sacred geometry.

What do bees symbolize in Bible?
References to bees are plentiful in the Old and New Testaments. Bees embody desirable human characteristics.
The bumblebee symbolizes Christ for Christians.
And it provides honey, a common food in ancient civilizations. Honey represents pleasure, sweetness, truth, and knowledge.
The Gods drank beverages made with honey. Bees are referenced in different religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and many more.
Bumblebee is the type of bee often referenced in religious tests. It exhibits many characteristics that religions try to encourage in their followers.
They are industrious and purposeful as they do their work.
Their lives are short.
But, they willingly serve the community. They serve as workers who gather pollen or nurse the young.
And they also serve as drones who live to serve the queen born to rule.
They respect leadership.
And they only serve one queen in their hive.
They work together to prosper the hive. They bring nectar and pollen back to the hive. And they feed their young bees with pollen. They also produce honey using nectar. Each member of a bee colony has its role.
They are fiercely protective of their queen and their hive. Hey are peace-loving and attack only when threatened. As bumblebees die after stinging a perceived enemy, they show their willingness to protect their home and family.
They produce honey, which is valued for its sweetness. And honey is also regarded as a sign of wealth. For all the bees’ work, honey is without a doubt synonymous with busyness.
Their industrious nature is also the reason behind the origin of the simile “busy as a bee.”
In Christian tradition, the bee is even regarded as the emblem of Jesus Christ himself.
The Paschal candle, lit before Easter, is made of pure beeswax to represent Christ. Christians associate the sweetness of honey with Christ’s forgiveness. They also associate a bee’s sting with his justice.
Many believe that the tendency of worker bees to serve their queen diligently represents Christian virtues.
Why are bees attracted to me?
There can be a few reasons why bees seem attracted to you.
First, you need to know that Bees communicate via pheromones. Different pheromones (smells) tell them to do different things. Many of these pheromones are not discernable by humans but some are.
Nasosonov pheromone tells the bees that there is good stuff here, this is where you need to be. Nasonov pheromone smells like lemon pledge furniture polish.
Flowery scents like you’d find in some perfumes tell the bees just what you’d think it does.
These scents are also found in soaps, laundry detergents, and fabric softeners. When a bee stings somebody/something it releases an alarm pheromone. This tells the other bees to attack this thing. The alarm pheromone smells like banana candy. If you are stung and smell that, you’re in trouble if you’re around a Hive.
Certain colors can also get bees riled up. They don’t like black. Black means a bear, skunk, or another animal that preys on hives.
Wearing a black cap means that there is a high chance you’re getting stung.
You need to stay away from hives if you’re wearing black.
Symbolically, when your mood and emotions are ‘black’ you may attract bees in your dreams.
Some people believe that bees can get particularly nasty on cloudy or rainy days. Symbolically, the gloomy person will attract bees subconsciously as symbols to make them aware of their low vibration.
Vibrations and certain sounds can tick them off. The time of year affects their mood. In August when it’s hot and there is little pollen and nectar to be collected, bees get nasty.
They are defending what they just spent the last several months gathering. This has to last them all winter.
Certain types of bees such as male carpenter bees or male bumblebees are territorial. They tend to investigate “intruders” whilst looking out for females with which to mate. These bees may seem intimidating, but they are unable to sting.
They are just curious bees, trying to scare you off.
After all, they see you as the intruder.
If you suspect you are being ‘investigated’ by a carpenter bee, you may find there is a bee nest nearby. It is important to remain calm, and let the bees alone, and you are unlikely to be stung.
