Telling the Bees & More Bee Legends
by • • 0 Comments
The tradition of telling the bees is thought to have come from ancient Europe and is believed to have origins in Celtic mythology. Of course, if you didn’t happen to own hives of bees, telling them when something of significance happened – weddings, births, and most importantly, deaths – would be a bit difficult. But if you were a bee owner, keeping them informed of household events was something you must do. And it was believed that bees could communicate with those who had passed on.

Piper, my mountain cur/beagle mix, is a wonderful dog. My husband brought her home to me from a shelter. Her previous owners just let her run loose, so she was picked up by the pound. When the pound called these owners, they told the pound to just keep her. In other words, they no longer wanted her.
