The bee symbolizes community, brightness and personal power. The bee is a reminder that your industry and hard work produces a community and social organization that generates abundance. The bee reminds us that we must cultivate community around us.

I marvel about the bees’ industry and faith because it’s hard to imagine how they fly. Modern myths perpetuate this idea, despite the science that explains it. Yet bees do fly, oscillating all around the garden keeping it alive.

People with the bee totem can accomplish the impossible over and over again. Moreover, they know how to enjoy the sweetness that life brings them and understand the proper use of energy. Folks with this totem have their intentions focused on a clear path. These people are self-sufficient and work hard, yet they work best when they are working with others.

We need to be both—possess a certain level of self-sufficiency but be our absolute best when we’re working with others, in communion.

The Bee Affirmation: Through cultivating community, I thrive and enjoy the sweetness of being alive.
