The Symbolism of Bees and Bumblebees

Bees and bumblebees have been revered in many cultures since ancient times. They are symbols of diligence, hard work, community, and abundance. The Ancient Egyptians associated the bee with royalty, and the Greeks considered it a sacred creature of the goddess Artemis. In Celtic mythology, bees were seen as messengers bringing wisdom from another world. By placing this symbol on your door, you are welcoming guests under the sign of harmony and community.

Interesting Fact: The Paradox of the Bumblebee's Flight

You have surely heard the old myth that, theoretically, the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly. According to aerodynamic calculations from the early 20th century, it seemed its small wings couldn't possibly lift its heavy and clumsy body. Luckily, the bumblebee doesn't know this, so it merrily flies on. And ours will just as reliably and cheerfully welcome all your guests for many years to come.

What This Knocker Is Definitely Not For
