The honey bee’s relation with human spirituality goes back a long way as noted in Kerry Stewart’s post on the Australia’s ABC National Radio. It references a podcast, which features the following guests:
Eric Whitby

Engadine, NSW (New South Wales)
Ala Samara
Bee Inspector
NSW Department of Primary Industries
Sydney Markets
Flemington, Australia
Frith Luton
Jungian Analyst & author
Melbourne, Australia
Dr Rod Blackhirst

Bendigo Campus
La Trobe University, Melbourne
Beyond information presented here, it is worth noting that many people of the “cloth” were intimately involved in beekeeping history. These included L.L. Langstroth and Brother Adam among many others in most of the world’s great religions.
