Queen Bee Ring
Queen Bee Ring – The Sacred Melipona
From the “Animal Totems” Collection
More than honey, More than flight, A guardian of healing and heritage.
This ring honors the Melipona bee, a stingless species sacred to the Maya and native to the Yucatán Peninsula. For centuries, these bees were tended not for their sting; but for their spirit. Their honey, known as Xunán Kab, meaning “The Sacred Bee”, was treasured for its healing powers and spiritual use in rituals and medicine.
Handcrafted in solid .925 sterling silver and adorned with 24K gold plating, this piece pays tribute to a creature of balance, resilience, and quiet generosity.
Wear it as a symbol of natural wisdom, sacred cycles, and the power of gentle persistence.
