Re:Lithuanian is riddled with references to bees by buovjaga on Tuesday March 20, 2018 @03:42AM (#16626612)
The bee obsession has its roots in shamanism. An example is the two bee-headed figures in Tassili rock art: http://samorini.it/site/archeologia/africa/funghi-allucinoge... found in In-Aouanrhat and Ti-n-Tarin.

This has a different photo of the painting in In-Aouanrhat: https://blogs.harvard.edu/houghton/2015/09/10/spirit-of-the-...

The Roundhead style rock art that these belong to dates from about 9000 BP to about 6600 BP.

This has more about the sacredness of the bee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_(mythology) Yet, it is lacking a lot of stuff, including how bees appear in Finnish epic poetry.
