The Wisdom of Honeybees - by Shonagh Home (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Explore the HISTORY and SYMBOLISM of honeybees and learn to CONNECT and COMMUNICATE with these wondrous creatures for DEEP HEALING.

Bees inspire a joy that most people could use more of these days--simply observing them at work is truly uplifting to the spirit. In The Wisdom of Honeybees, author, teacher, and beekeeper Shonagh Home encourages you to slow down and pay attention to what the bees can teach us on a spiritual level.

Discover the rich symbolism of honeybees in myth, religion, and society, and how they are highly regarded as symbols of hard work, productivity, and dedication. Learn how to interact with bees in everyday modern life, address any fears about them, and explore the spiritual approach to communicating with these extraordinary creatures, including practices and meditations that don't require you to keep an actual hive.

Find out about hive medicine, or "apitherapy," which is an ancient practice of treating ailments using products of the hive, including honey, bee pollen, and beeswax--all incredible substances with numerous medicinal and healing applications. Finally, learn how to form a heartfelt relationship with the bees, from creating a thoughtfully planned bee garden to getting to grips with beekeeping basics, for those who want to fully embrace bee stewardship and all its benefits, including emotional healing.
