2. Fertility
If you have been struggling with fertility issues, the Queen bee may appear to you in a dream.
Whether you have been trying to get pregnant unsuccessfully or are looking into trying to conceive for the first time, the Queen bee is there to acknowledge that it is a daunting and stressful experience.
Everyone’s journey to becoming parents is different, and whether yours is easy and straightforward, or a long and difficult time, there is no right or wrong.
The Queen bee is the mother of all of the bees in her hive and seeing her is a welcome reassurance. The Queen bee is a reminder to relax and know that your journey is your own and that there is no right or wrong way to become a parent.
3. Motherhood
The Queen bee is not only the leader of the hive, she is also the mother of the bees.
The Queen bee is highly symbolic of motherhood and the nurturing nature of a mother. She is kind and calm and raises her children with a natural ease.
If you are currently a mother, particularly a new mother, and feel lost or like you may be doing things wrong, the Queen bee is there to remind you that you are doing a great job.
Motherhood is difficult, and the Queen bee will appear to you in a dream to reassure you that you are doing the best that you can. Do not compare yourself to other parents or celebrities, being a great mother does not mean being the richest or most “put together.”
Whether you are a stay at home mom, or a working mom, the way that you are doing things is right for you and your situation. Spend time focussing on bonding with and nurturing your child and know that you are doing what is best for your family.
4. Discipline
The Queen bee is called the queen for a reason, and that reason is that she is the disciplinarian of her hive.
The disciplined nature of the beehive is one which translates to everyday life for many.
If you are someone who loves routine, a plan, or takes care to ensure you time block every hour of your day then you are likely taking after the Queen bee.
If you are dreaming of a Queen bee or seeing one in your daily life it is a sign that perhaps your self-discipline is lacking.
Whilst you may get bouts of motivation and work hard and do lots of productive tasks in a day, discipline is the ability to continue those positive habits even when you don’t want to.
If you find you are the type to succeed in your job, fitness, study or home life but then procrastinate or self-sabotage, perhaps the Queen bee is giving you the push to continue your positive habits.
Try not to burn yourself out when you are motivated, instead find smaller and achievable habits that you can continue with daily.
Manage your tasks by breaking them down into smaller goals. Instead of writing an entire assignment in a day, or working out for an hour, try spending an hour each day researching, planning and drafting the essay, or spending a productive 30 minutes in the gym instead.
You will find you feel less stressed, overwhelmed and will become more disciplined and dedicated to those positive habits.
5. Work Ethic
A beehive is known to be a busy and productive place. Each bee has their own job, with the Queen ruling the hive.
The saying “busy bee” exists for a reason, and with the Queen being the overseer of the entire hive it is highly symbolic of a strong work ethic if you are consistently seeing a queen bee.
If you have been feeling burnt out, overworked or stressed, it might serve as a sign that you have been working incredibly hard and it is okay to give yourself a break.
Perhaps you need to relook at your schedule and find some more time to give yourself some relaxation.
Remember, taking a break is important for your mental and physical health, and is just as important as being productive. Finding a balance between work and rest is important and the Queen bee is there to remind you to look after yourself.
