The bumblebee carries the power of service. They
are important pollinators of many plants. As a bee lands upon one flower,
collecting its nectar, pollen also attaches itself to the leg fibers. It is
then transferred to other flowers, creating a fertilization process. Their
movement from one plant to another symbolizes the interconnectedness of all
living things. The bumblebee is a messenger that holds the secrets of life
and service.
Unlike the honeybee, the bumblebee usually has fewer
individuals in its colony. They do not store large amounts of honey like
the honeybee does. Bumblebees are one of the few insects that can control
their body temperature. In cold weather the queen and her workers can shiver
their flight muscles to warm themselves allowing them to fly and work at
lower temperatures than most other insects.  Their large size and hairy coat
also helps to keep them warm.
Yogi masters have been known to quiet their heartbeat
and adjust their body temperatures when in an altered state. This skill is
linked to the ancient initiations of mastering the body, mind and spirit.
Those with this totem usually have strong past life ties connected to the
ancient secrets of longevity and can benefit from the study and practice of
yoga. They also make good hypnotherapists.
 All bees are productive. They remain focused in their
activities and do not get distracted from their goal. Their legs are one
of their most sensitive organs. A bee actually tastes through its legs and
reminds us to slow down, smell the roses and taste the sweet nectar of life.
Hypoglycemia and diabetes can sometimes occur in those who carry this medicine.
Therefore daily exercise and good nutrition is advised.
If your energy is scattered the bumblebee can show
you how to regain focus. If it stings you, it is saying, wake up and follow
the rhythm of your own heartbeat. When a bumblebee buzzes you it is asking
you to follow its lead. In so doing you will arrive at the destination most
appropriate for your new life awakening. |
