The Bee and its History ...

The word bee comes from the ancient Provencal abelha, dulatin apicula, diminutive apis, the bee is the symbol of immortality and resurrection in the ancient world. Golden bees had been discovered in 1653 at Tournai in the tomb of Childeric I. They are considered the oldest emblem of the sovereigns of France and Napoleon Bonaparte contributed much to the persistence of this belief by taking the insect bumper as one of the emblems of the Empire.
