Our Minoan Malia Bees collection is a reproduction of the original ancient Greek Minoan Bees pedant, which was found in 1930 at Chrysolakkos, Malia Crete. It dates to the Minoan civilization 1800-1650 BC. An amazing very detailed representation of two bees carrying a drop of honey to their honeycomb. It is believed that the Great Mother of Mother Goddess was related to bees, while honey was used in rituals. As a symbol of the Mother Goddess, bees represent the mutual support and fertility.
