The Bee Goddess merits infinite respect. She's a special diety with whom I'm excited and honoured to be playing with. I share this story as an offering to the Bee Goddess, as a way to revive the Sacred Feminine paradigm to Mother Earth.

In Taos, the August 2007 afternoon is sweltering. I pull off into the yard/driveway of my friends' Envision Art Gallery. Seeking shade. I'm from the Canadian prairies where summers are milder. (Until these times of climate change.) A big old Cottonwood, whose upper limbs died off in the drought & have been chopped off, calls me to its cool shade. I create my own parking spot. (My rebellious nature arises when it comes to parking the pony according to the rules & I've even gone to jail for outstanding parking tickets.) To my great surprize, I notice bees swooping in and out of the tree trunk..... My immediate question, "Are these honey bees who've swarmed? Or, are they natural wild bees?" I get out of the car & walk around the trunk of the giant old cottonwood. From 10 years as a bee keeper in Saskatchewan, I know how to approach a bee hive. Never from the front which is the fly way....
I'm softly moving closer, about a meter away from the hole in the trunk. Suddenly, a bee zooms in on me and stings me right at the 3rd eye chakra. Ouch!!!  I suddenly realize that I've been initiated into the BEE CLAN & if the Bee Priestesses are coming  back from their ancient past, then I am among them!

I 'get' the Bee Goddess's message >> to always see with sacred meditative vision. A few days later, I return to the wild bee tree to answer the original question... Are these wild bees or honey bees who've swarmed and gone wild? This time I wear a bee bonnet for protection. HONEY BEES !!!
No bees even notice me today. Or more precisely, the Bee Goddess doesn't need to wake me up again.

Envision Gallery is situated in an especially magical yard that endearingly provides a tree home to wild honey bees. I reflect on an earlier visit to this 'power spot'.   I'd been traveling and on the afternoon I returned to Taos, the Sun in the sky was spectacular.    On that evening in early May 2007, I'm standing out with the setting Sun, praising the Sun Goddesses.  They offer a clear message:  "Maka, look at what's happening with the bees."   I'd been a beekeeper for 13 years in Saskatchewan & had heard something about an especially rough winter for the honey bee population.  I also recalled reading something about a Bee Goddess.  My journey with the sacred honey bees guiding humanity through this 2012 'time of no time' leading us into the '5th Sun' era of a golden age had just begun!

Egyptian Sun God RA




As I'm meditating on this scenario, I recall the bee lore from Egypt >>> "Honey bees are the tears of the Sun God, RA."

I envision the Sun God, RA laughing himself to tears as the Bee Goddess emerges onto the Earth scene. First, she calls the honey bees away and into hiding from the slave~like conditions of commercial bee keeping. A crisis, indeed.
THEN, THE BEE GODDESS APPEARS !!!
With a contingent of Bee Priestesses tanging on their drums with joyous wild abandon.
