The Bee: Part 3 - Beegotten

My research into the Bee has revealed that this omnipresent creature has been held scared since the year dot. Along the way I’ve chronicled how the diminutive insect has been incorporated into religion, government, art and literature, as well as how its symbolism – still prevalent in modern times - has largely been forgotten or misinterpreted as something else altogether. In this, the final part of the trilogy, I will review the events that have led to the Bee’s present condition, and contemplate its fate in the light of its most formidable adversary yet; 21st century man.

    It's acceptable to correct spelling errors in quoted material, especially in modern material. I doubt very much whether the bee has been held "scared." I suspect it has, in fact, been held sacred.
