To dream of bees is good and bad: good, if they sting not, but bad, if they sting the party dreaming, for then the bees do signify enemies; and therefore to dream that bees fly about your ears, shows your being beset with many enemies; but if you beat them off, without being stung by them, it is a sign of victory, and of your overcoming them. To dream of seeing bees, indicates profit to country people, and trouble to the rich; yet to dream that they make honey in any part of the house or tenement, is a sign of dignity, eloquence, and good success in business. To take bees, shows profit and gain, by reason of their honey and wax.
