So the Ephesians (and Minoans) used bee imagery. Ephesian goddess was Artemis the Huntress (Roman counterpart was Diana) who had bee priestesses attending her.

The Gods Themselves (Isaac Asimov)

I found it! There was a science fiction story I'd read very long ago that had affected me profoundly (I'd identified with one of the characters), but I'd forgotten the title of the story and the author. This makes it a bit difficult to find a book. I only knew the names of three of the characters, "Dua, Tritt, and Odeen". I'd searched on these names some time ago (probably years ago), but got no hits. Just now, I remembered to do another search on those names, and this time there were hits and I found the book. Dua, Tritt, Odeen, and their strange world appear in Part Two of Isaac Asimov's three-part book, "The Gods Themselves". FOUND IT!! It's on its way home...

Yesterday at the bookstore I found another short story I'd lost track of called "Mimsy Were the Borogroves" by Lewis Padgett.

These are both stories that I read long time ago, but I still remember them like vivid, wonderful dreams. I call these kinds of stories my "spirit stories".

One by one, I'm finding these stories that struck that kind of chord...
