Another aspect of the bees and the hive is an old coment by a Rothschild about stealing money from the people and equating it to taking honey from the bees in exchange for maintaining the hive.
✨I did an Ai search - If there are "Beekeepers" in Freemasonry, here is what it said...
Yes, there are beekeepers who are also members of Freemasonry, and the bee itself holds significant symbolic value within the fraternity. Freemasonry has long used the bee and the beehive as allegorical symbols to teach moral, social, and practical lessons. The beehive represents industry, diligence, cooperation, and collective effort—virtues that Masons are encouraged to embody in their personal lives, lodges, and communities. Individual bees within the hive stand for members of the fraternity, each contributing to the collective welfare of the lodge, while the hierarchical structure of the hive mirrors the organized structure of Masonic society.
Historically, the symbol of the beehive appears across Masonic ritual, regalia, tracing boards, and even lodge names, such as Bee Hive Lodge No. 66 in Maryland. Authors like Albert Mackey and Carl H. Claudy describe the beehive as a lesson in virtuous labor and cooperation, with allegorical parallels drawn between the hive’s functioning and the fraternal duties of Masons. Modern Freemasons continue to embrace this symbolism, regardless of whether they actively practice beekeeping. There are also documented instances of Masons who personally maintain apiaries, viewing beekeeping as both a hobby and a tangible embodiment of the Masonic ideals represented by the hive and worker bees.
In short, while membership in Freemasonry does not require one to be a beekeeper, bees and beekeeping serve as enduring symbols of ethical conduct and communal responsibility within the organization, and some Masons indeed pursue beekeeping as a personal interest aligned with these teachings.

White House post with bee in Trump's palm...

Have y'all seen the movie The Beekeeper (2024 film)?

He is our Bee Keeper. I watched the movie. He fits the bill.
I thought of The Beekeeper movie and what being a beekeeper means, in the movie, when I heard about them getting the hive at the White House.
Trump exposes British Royalty to attack by drones!
The bee on Trump's hand is a natural! Look at Charles' jaw drop! Melania is also amazed.
Or maybe a bit concerned.
yes, but serenely trusting??
I've been watching the series "Vikings" - in that, King Ecbert (Aethelwulf) is stung by a bee, has an allergic reaction, swells up and dies.
Now I'm wondering if that is a hidden secret of British Royalty - bee allergy?
they have been intermarrying forever, so I wouldn't doubt anything
Love that movie and some vigilante justice!

They consider us livestock.
