seems that this cult of the bee extended from Crete to the islands of the Aegean and mainland Greece. Mythology Jupiter realizes that his childhood was fed with honey than had Melissa, daughter of a Cretan king, to a cave where they had hidden the child.
The seal of a ring of gold (1450 BC) in a tomb in isopathic locatd near Knossos. Shows the relationship between the Goddess and her priestesses with the queen and pawns, and others performing a dance. This ring was found in a tomb in Crete, probably because the bee was considered the life out of death. The Bee Goddess stamp appears in the center, down to earth between snakes and lilies and being adored by her priestesses. Honey was used to embalm the dead.
. Honey also played a central part in the new year in the rituals of the Minoans. The new year began in the Cretan summer solstice, when the heat was at its peak, and July 20 was the day that the great star Sirius rises in conjunction with the sun, as in Sumeria and Egypt. In these other two countries Sirius was explicitly called "the star of the Goddess" (Inanna in Sumeria, Egypt and Isis), and the temples, palaces on Crete were oriented to this star. Sirius Rising ending a 40-day ritual during which we obtained the honey bee hives in the darkness of the caves and forest. The honey was made and fermented mead and drunk as an intoxicating liquor which accompany ecstatic rites that were celebrated.

tombs at Mycenae are shaped like beehives, and the omphalos at Delphi in ancient Greece, where Apollo ruled with its main oracular priestess, the Pythia, who was called Delphic Bee. In the Greek Homeric Hymns to Hermes written in the eighth century BC, the god Apollo spoke of three women visionaries like three bees or bee maidens, who like himself, practiced divination. These bee-maidens sacred with his gift of prophecy, Apollo was the gift of Hermes, the god who is the only one who can lead the souls of the dead to life and, sometimes, back again
According
Strabo, Eleusis and Ephesus in the priestesses who once held the ancient mysteries were called Melissai 'Bees', and few initiates who had attained an indisputable purity also received this name. The bee was Melissai or priestesses of Artemis, and were directed by the "king bee" (the Greeks did not know that the bees had no queen and king). Bees were associated with Ephesus for many reasons, it was said that muses in the form of bees were those who had led the Athenians who came to colonize the land.
