Honey Bee Drop Earrings, 14K White Gold

Symbol of creation, diligence and teamwork

The honey bee, one of the most important creatures of the animal kingdom, with admirable qualities, is endowed by nature with the power of creation.  The ancient Greeks were the first to discern the nutritional and therapeutic qualities of honey, and considered it a divine food. They even washed their hands and mouth with honey to cleanse their body, spirit and soul. The purpose and destination of the honey bee in life appears to be twofold, and with great symbolic significance: to nourish all beings on earth and to serve as a great example of how diligence, dedication and teamwork lead to success and evolution of life.

Aesop, Ancient Greek fabulist, 620 BC - 560 BC said:
In unity there is strength.

May the qualities that the honeybee evokes inspire you to fill your life with the sweetness of honey and to work with diligence and care to produce something as divine as the honey bee.
