Legend has it, Saint Valentine—who gave his name to our celebration of love—was not only a patron of lovers but also of bees. In medieval times, the honeybee was considered a symbol of love, fertility, and community, revered for its dedication to the delicate balance of nature. Beekeeping was an ancient sacred practice, and bees, with their tireless work of pollination and communal care, were seen as the messengers between the human world and the divine. |
