These industrious insects as dream symbols may reflect some dominant traits of character of the person in whose dream they appear. Bees stand for hard-work, diligence, ability to face all types of situations, as difficult as they may be, creativity, spontaneity etc. Bees hardly working to prepare the sweet honey may represent a real situation in your life in which a group of people is involved - for instance, an important project you and your colleagues are working on etc.
Bees seen laboriously swarming around the hive or lying on beautiful flowers to pollinate them are a good omen and stand for successful and prosperous undertakings and enterprises, obedient and industrious offsprings etc. Bees seen in positive circumstances also stand for harmony, balance, good luck and happiness.
If you dream that you are stung by a bee in your dream, you will have to deal with major changes in your waking life, most for the worse. If the bees in your dream annoy or sting you, this means that you are facing bothering situations or have to deal with irritating people in you waking life. Bees that hurt people stand for upcoming periods of grief and unhappy events.
Also, according to some ancient beliefs, if a young girl dreams that she is stung by a bee, then she will fall in love soon after she had the dream.
