Bonnie deserved to have gotten everything and more.

I'm glad for the pro Bonnie Bennett fans that put so much effort into their work. I love reading ya'lls, metas, theories, stories, and what ifs. Your edits, celebrations, planned events, and watching your edits!

I love our interactions and discussions. A lot of talented people with great ideas. Your passion is noted and welcomed.

Try not to be discouraged by the negativity or antis. To navigate through fandom is already hard by itself.

Honey & Honeybee Magic

Magical Properties of Honey

Love & Kindness: The sweetness of honey is reflected in the sweetness of its magic. If you are looking to heal relationships and increase positivity, consider using honey. 

Health: There is medical-grade honey for a reason, it promotes wound healing, especially for burns (Mayo Clinic). However, I am not advising you to use honey medically without first discussing it with your doctor. In the more magical sense, honey can also be used for spiritual healing. 

Wealth & Bounty: Honeybees actually produce an excess of honey and when humans collect it, it improves the health of the hive. Use honey in your practice to welcome extra wealth. 

Magical Associations of Bees

Cooperation & Community: Bees are one of the few truly eusocial insects. They care for their young and communicate with each other through dancing. Through the work of many, tiny bees can produce large hives and large amounts of honey.

Femininity: Female bees are the core of a hive. They care for the young, pollinate flowers, exchange information, and are the only bees that can sting. A queen bee is a female bee that has been fed royal jelly as a grub. Worker bees represent the importance of women in a society. 

Renewal: Bees are hardly seen during the winter and their arrival in Spring represents new beginnings. They are a sign of good things to come. 

The Sun: Not only do bees emerge in the brighter and longer days as Spring approaches, but they also navigate using the sun. Additionally, their golden honey is reminiscent of the sun. Honey or bee imagery would be helpful in spells related to the sun. 

Magical Things to do with Honey

Leave jars of honey in the full moon to imbue them with magical energies

Mix honey into your tea to promote health and positivity 

Share honey with someone you want to develop a relationship with, romantic or platonic

Anoint a candle with honey in money spells

Place a jar or bottle of honey on your altar when you are hoping for a raise or bonus 

Bee Related Offerings

Mead

Milk mixed with honey 

Beeswax candles or wax melts

Flowers

Other Thoughts

Buy local honey if possible! A lot of grocery stores or farmer’s markets sell them. 

If you are interested in beekeeping, consider raising a species other than honeybees. There are many species of bees that are invaluable pollinators and we need to work to save them!

Warnings

Honey should not be given to babies under 1 year old (Mayo Clinic). Some people are allergic to bee pollen in honey, be cautious.
