Meaning of a bee in a dream

Dream of bee swarm

Bees live in large communities, they are organised, industrious and very disciplined. A bee family is a whole structure with a rather complex hierarchy and a clear system of distribution of responsibilities. This way of life makes bees very productive. However, people learned long ago how to build peaceful and profitable relationships with bees. The earliest depiction of a man collecting honey from wild bees is 8,000 years old. The so-called “The Man of Bicorp” was discovered in the Cuevas de la Araña, or Spider Caves in Valencia, Spain. People practised beekeeping in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Rome, and the Middle Ages. All this accumulated knowledge is the basis for the interpretation of dreams about bees, which in the vast majority of the dream books are defined as harbingers of good luck, financial success and good news.

Bear hunts for honey and ruins the bees’ nest – on your way may meet an evil unpleasant person;

Wild bees collecting honey – if in your dream you saw bees carrying honey to a hollow in the forest, it most likely means that hard work is in your blood.

Your actions in the dream

A bee stung you and it hurts – you are too naive and used to trust people, so you are very easy to deceive, beware of swindlers.

You are running away from bees, you are scared – this dream is unpleasant but important: you are on the threshold of big changes and the dream shows you that it is enough to procrastinate with the decision, it is time to change your life for the better.

You are saved from the persecution of bees – you were able to overcome a streak of trouble, you can exhale, ahead of you awaits a quiet time.

You catch bees – you will have an additional source of income, the main thing is not afraid to start something new.

You killed a bee – to the end of a difficult project or the end of unpleasant relationships. It is better to take a short time out to exhale, reboot and calmly start a new stage of life.

    I dreamed that a swarm of small black Irish honey bees were happily living on my back. I would just get on with my day and they would accompany me. I wasn’t afraid, and not once did they show aggression. It was not a problem having them there. If I lay down they would easily move to the other side of my torso, so they didn’t get squashed. If I took my top of and looked in the mirror the would completely cover my back and left side. It was a very nice dream.Occasionally someone (a friend) would ask to see them but it was all quite normal. It felt like we were very much in union with each other, protecting each other in harmony. Any insights?

      It’s very difficult to answer that question with certainty. There are so many different dream patterns that can occur in dreams. In our article only a part of what can be dreamed. The field of dreaming is very subjective. Any interpretation is also very subjective. It is important to realise not only what you are dreaming, but also how you felt. In general, bees most often convey a positive perception of hard work, diligence, beauty and health.

    I had a dream it was early spring but still cold out and two people dressed up in a bee suit were opening up my bee hives. I ran over to stop them only to find a bunch of my bees dead from being exposed to the cold. I quickly started to re-stack the hive and praying out loud that they would make it. I told the people in my dream who I thought were neighbours why did you touch my hives? It’s too cold for them to be open! Look at the damaged you done. In my dream I spoke to my mom and my uncle and said how frustrated I was with what happened and I was hoping my bees made a recovery. My mom in my dream told me it’s going to be okay and not to worry. What could this dream mean?

      I think you’re worried about something important in your life. Probably some event in the past or future may happen. And the result of a positive outcome is important to you. It is also possible that emotional contact with your relatives or neighbours plays an important role in your life. But these are just assumptions and hardly anyone can answer this question objectively.
