Spirit of Bees?

I first saw the phrase in an old pharmacological text which I repaired. The original blog entry about that can be found in my old blog.
 
Technically, spirit of bees was an ancient curative made in medieval times from extract of bees. But I was charmed by the sound of the phrase, the rhythm of the words. It brought to mind the buzzing of the swarm, the activity of the hive, the busy-ness of bee-ness. As a person who always has many different things going on all the time, and who is very much engaged in the busy-ness of being, I could relate to those words.
 
Acting with energy and purpose. Such is the Spirit of Bees.

William Blake : "The busy bee has no time for sorrow."

“To see a world in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palms of your hand
and eternity in an hour.”
