Today, while I was working in our entertainment area, I had the pleasure of being visited by a solitary honey bee. My father was a beekeeper and I have a strong association with bees and my father. The bee crawled across my computer screen and books while I worked. Just as I finished my work, the bee flew away. This is what I found about bees as Message Totem Animals: The Bee is a symbol of being happy in ones work. The arrival of the bee in your life is a signal to evaluate how organized, industrious and productive you are in your life. Fundamentally the message is that through your work you will grow wisdom; your connection to the community will flourish, and your surroundings will be a fertile abundance. Sometimes we can take on unhealthy obsessive or defensive natures in our work, becoming too serious, addictive or demanding of ourselves or others. The bee reminds us that to our enjoy work is to experience a joyful life.
