In the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, the trickster god crafts the first lyre from a tortoise shell and leather straps—then seeks wisdom from the bee-maidens #Melissae, ancient prophetesses who speak in honeyed riddles. Bees, honey, leather & song: old magic in every note! 🎶🍯 #Beelore 🐝

Honey was precious, bees sacred—Brehon laws covered bee ownership, swarms, trespass & sharing honey. In Tír na nÓg, rivers flowed with mead! 🌊🍻 A perfect nod to old Bartholomew Fairs. 🍻 #Beelore
