A Sacred Steward of Honey Bees

21,322 views

Debra Roberts is a sacred steward of honey bees. She is one of an increasing number of women who care for bees without chemicals or toxic substances and with thankfulness, nurturing, and respect. Debra likens the ways in which she relates to bees as similar to the practices of great spiritual traditions: being calm, focused, and clear in your intent, slow and smooth in your movements, feeling grateful, and approaching others with respect. In this Filiz Telek short video, Holy Bee, Debra discusses the spiritual practice of beekeeping.

The beauty and blessed love of 'beeing' emanates from your eyes, Debra. Pure Love. Thank you. We have so much to learn together. And our bee friends teach us patience and steadfastness. Love!

'So beautiful to hear about love, tenderness and learning from our ancient wise ones, the honeybees, I am intimate with my horses in the way that Debra is with her bees coming from a place of humility, love and respect and intention to do nor harm. My bees have come to me now and I feel my horses have trained me in some of the ways Debra describes, being calm, focused, gentle and graceful in all your shared connections. I surrender now to honeybee wisdom xxx

She and the bees are so so precious. I loved this. I too bow at the feet of the honey bees.

Thank you Debra. Wow.

My father was a beekeeper when I was a child, some 60 plus years ago. He was fortunate to not have to experience some of the many issues beekeeper face today. His respect for nature and the bees just came naturally as the earth, fields, plants and insects were always a part of his life growing up,in Kentucky. Her language may be quite different from my fathers but the emotion and the spirit is the same. All the best to you with gratitude for all you do for the bees and for us.

Lovely-respectful- reverent- divine!

Beautiful. Thank you. I garden and when I am really there and focused it is something like that-the sacredness and how it's all interconnected. And of course the bees!

Zillah

I heard "sacred practice" and fell down. Thank you for saying it out loud, even in this other place I don't think of myself and my responsibility in. This hit me in a clear way, and I had to share it with my mom, who is a quiet, true, queen Bee.
