"Insects teach us about what is most high in nature."

- Rudolf Steiner

Collections from the "Anthroposophical Publishing" in a single volume entitled "Bees", the eight lectures given in Dornach (Switzerland) from 26 November to 22 December 1923 provide further insight into the original cosmic vision of Steiner, who chose here to investigate the phenomena related to the world of bees, wasps and ants in the light of Spiritual Science.

public lectures in Italy and abroad were taken by a shorthand writing ever revised by the author, who warns us that "Whoever reads these texts can fully accept them as what 's Anthroposophy has to say .. It should however be borne in mind that the texts I will not be reviewed are errors. "The conference dedicated to the theme of bees are part of a wider series of meetings designed for workers Goetheanum, which were discussed different aspects of thought Steiner, chosen from time to time by the assembly workers ; emerges from these "dialogues" as defined by Marie Steiner, the Austrian occultist second wife, a special interest in the therapeutic and hygienic side of life, as if to underline the practical importance of certain concepts in the world of work.

Steiner begins by explaining the differences that exist among the inhabitants of the same hive (the radiance of the queen bee, whose development takes place in 16 days, returning in 25 days that meets the sidereal rotation period of the sun, the solar nature of the bee workers, whose development occurred on 21 days, exhausted all the influence of solar terrestrial nature of the kelp, which develops in 24-25 days and that, leaving the solar influence is introduced before adulthood in the evolution of land) and to address the fundamental issue of the spawning : only the queen bee laying in itself the full solar influence, is able to give evidence, while the workers who have exhausted the influence of the sun, and drones, totally terrestrial can not do the same.

From solar and terrestrial nature of the hive, from which they come to be double the working life of worker bees and the queen bee fruitful, the focus shifts to the importance of the force that permeates the hexagonal Earth and the creatures that derive their livelihood from it.

"When you go to the mountains, where they found the rock is harder, which is the hardest element, the quartz crystals. (...) When complete, have also closed down in the same way as above, but mostly are not complete, and arise from the rock, seem to grow from the rock (...). What does this do? It means that the earth is growing out of the crystals themselves, which are hexagonal and ending at the tip. So the land is given the power to set in a hexagonal shape. "

quartz crystals that emerge in all their strength from the walls of the mountains are also dissolved in the human body, whose internal structure prevents this juice quartz solidify. This stream of quartz, or silica, has a fundamental importance for humans.

Steiner part by the importance of silicic acid to get to illustrate the great benefit of a fair consumption of honey bees, which transmit to their hexagonal wax cells are able to synthesize the honey, rich in substance Allen strength and very helpful to those who are no longer able to adequately develop this energy.

Through the honey, the man in the right quantities can absorb the cosmic forces acting on the ground and attributable to the higher dimensions of reality and beneficial.

The importance of the universe land in the events is repeated several times by the philosopher who speaks, for example, about the nectar of flowers:

"When the sun's rays come from the area of \u200b\u200bAries, its strength may act to exercise full power over the flowers, causing them in the development of the sweet substance that occurs in honey. So the bees are. However, if the Earth is to have the preponderance of power, because the rainy season, the flowers can not grow under the rays of the sun coming from the air, they have to wait till later or are interrupted in the activity carried out so far, then the flowers not regularly produce honey and bees do not find it. "

Particularly interesting is the suggestion contained in the penultimate conference, dedicated to formic acid, about the evolution of our planet. Steiner focuses on the so-called "lunar", a stage of evolution, which takes its name from the earth that the moon would be a remnant of that ancient Earth (the Earth's evolution discourse is addressed specifically in de "Occult science in general terms").

At the time of lunar plants and insects did not exist in the form that we know them today, there was instead a series of plant-like vapor clouds moving constantly changing in appearance and were fertilized by a force " animal "from the environment. This old issue has been passed in the subsequent developments up to lead the fertilization system we know today, the bees and wasps, animals living in close harmony with nature and plants that are the heirs of those ancient cosmic energies agents from always on our planet.
