@hellenicappalachia omg first apollo and hermes with their bee nymphs now artemis too there’s definitely something beeutiful going on here

@kiinsenir let’s all be bee nymphs tbh

I need this in my life

there’s so much more too, like aphrodite’s priestesses were also sometimes called bees, as well as some priestesses at eleusis for demeter and persephone. they were also considered flocks of pan and there was even a god of beekeeping, aristaios (who was one of the sons of apollon)

i’m almost definitely going to write a post on this later today because we need to share the bees 🐝
