Abstract
The history of the bee in ancient cultures was a common area for studying primitive cultures and was referred to in the idea that myths originated from ritualistic acts. The bee hieroglyph which was noted on inscriptions from the time of the first dynasty until the end of the Graeco-Roman period was a well-known symbol for royalty for nearly four thousand years. The prevalence of this particular bee hieroglyph on tombs, statues, wall paintings other types of bee hie-roglyphs in Egyptian writing, indicates the sundry functions of bee-keeping and honey whether secular or religious.
