These notes come not only from a homeopath but as a bee-keeper also.
A honeybee colony is divided up as follows:
QUEEN BEE:
- is there anything more JEALOUS in nature than the queen bee (asks
Clarke). There is only ever one queen bee in a colony/hive. She will not
tolerate another and if the rest of the hive have started nurturing
another queen bee they will attack each other to the death.
The queen is surrounded by thousands of bees - CANNOT BEAR TO BE LEFT
ALONE.
All the other bees attend to her every need - HARD TO PLEASE.
They are totally dependent on the queen, if she dies the whole colony
dies - PREMONITION OF DEATH.
Once a queen has mated she spends the rest of her life laying eggs,
almost non stop. STRONG AFFINITY WITH UTERUS AND OVARIES.
MANIA FROM SEXUAL IRRITATION.
The queen will only leave a hive/colony twice - once to mate and once to
swarm - <<DARKNESS.
FEMALE BEES: - these
are either nurse bees, foraging bees or guard bees.
Constantly working towards the upkeep of the colony/hive - BUSY,
RESTLESS, CONSTANTLY CHANGING OCCUPATION.
Nurse bees usually stay within the colony until they have been upgraded
to foragers.
Foragers are usually too busy getting food to bother about anything else
- APATHY.
Foragers can fly up to 6/8 miles in search of food - DREAMS OF LONG
JOURNEYS.
Foragers have a special dancing flight to indicate where the food is -
DANCING.
It is nearly always the guard bees which sting.
The sting itself doesn't hurt it is the after effects in those who are
susceptible.
Many years ago I made a film for TV about London's Bee Keepers in which
a famous heart consultant
(who kept bees) stung himself on purpose to illustrate the lack of
reaction
But back to the STING- BURNING, HUGE SWELLING, ITCHING, AREA SO
SENSITIVE TO TOUCH, TIRED AND BRUISED FEELING, SPREADING STIFFNESS,
REDNESS BUT ALSO WHITE WHEALS << TOUCH >> COLD WATER.
Believe me I know!!
DRONES (male): - oh the poor drones.
They do virtually nothing around the hive, neither do they go foraging -
TORPOR, APATHY.
Their only purpose is for one of them to mate with the queen.
Other than that, come Autumn they literally get kicked out of the hive/colony
so as to save food stores for the rest of the bees.
So for all the hundreds of drones only one gets to mate with the new
queen who emerges from the hive just once to mate with which ever lucky????
drone is around.
Unfortunately for the drone as soon as he has mated with her his
genitals then explode and he falls to the ground - dead - SUDDEN SHRILL
AND PIERCING SCREAMS.
I actually had a case of a 25 year old man who had eczema around the
genital area.
He described the itching burning at its worse "as if his testicles
were going to explode." - MALE, SEXUAL DESIRE DECREASED, PAINS AND
SWELLINGS OF TESTES, HIGHLY INFLAMED.
The hive never sleeps, bees do not sleep - GREAT DESIRE TO SLEEP,
EXTREME SLEEPINESS, DREAMS OF FLYING THROUGH THE AIR.
They never stop moving - GIDDINESS, FIDGETY, LISTLESS, TWITCHING,
<< lying down.
The general colour of a colony is yellow to brown although honey can be
anything from white to dark brown. - WAXY YELLOW APPEARANCE, STOOLS
YELLOW, DIARHHOEA = WHITE, YELLOWISH GREEN, ORANGE.
When bees get dysentery you really know about it if you've got washing
hanging on the line!
Everything about a hive is sticky, wax and propolis - DISCHARGES STICKY.
Bees do need some moisture but most of it is processed through the honey
making naturally, you will rarely see a bee drinking - THIRSTLESS.
I could go on but I can hear the drones buzzing!
So in my opinion it is extremely worthy to look towards the natural
substance, the natural state of our remedies in order to gain a better
understanding of them and to know how and why the remedies produced the
symptoms/rubrics during the provings.
