Bees, Sovereignty & The Sweetness We Forget 🐝
What I love about bees is how spiritual they are.
They buzz sacredly the whole day, devoted to the Queen, to the hive, to the hum of life itself.
Every flight has purpose.
Every return is to the Mother, the center, the source.
And it struck me: the hive only works because the Queen and the Workers each play their role. They exist within the natural order.
✨ The Queen Bee isn’t seeking or chasing. She embraces her sovereignty, magnetism, and the freedom to decide what enters the hive. But if she strays out of her role, tries to prove herself or control everything, she loses her essence.
✨ The Worker Bee is rhythm itself — gathering, giving, weaving the hive together. But if she works too hard, too long, or without purpose, she burns out.
It isn’t about making the Worker Bee into the Queen — that would be chaos.
It’s about cultivating healthy archetypes and noticing when we’ve tipped into distortion.🤪
And here’s the mirror for us humans:
When we stay in the healthy expressions of our own archetypes — whether leading, creating, serving, or resting — life flows. When we push too far, try to be everything at once, or forget our place, we exhaust ourselves.
So maybe the practice is this:
💛 Honor the Queen within you — sovereign, magnetic, discerning.
💛 Honor the Worker within you — devoted, purposeful, steady.
💛 Notice when either slips into overdrive — and gently bring her back.
That’s what Rebecca Maes and I will be exploring with you at the Queen Bee one day chapel and forest Retreat this September — using yoga and sound we will let you feel these archetypes in your body, how to notice their shadows, and how to let them work together instead of against each other. Expect movement, sound, forest bathing,stillness, and the kind of conversations that are often impactful and clarifying .

Bring your crown. The honey’s waiting.
