The symbol of a bee can seal a spell with sweetness for one who appreciates good will and a sting for one who takes it for granted or doesn't keep his end of the bargain.
According to some modern word-of-mouth: bees are closely associated with the fae and their presence in your garden indicates the blessings of the fae. Encouraging bees, by putting up bee houses, hives, planting bee-friendly plants and waterers and not using pesticides, encourages the blessings of the fae, while harming bees can incur their wrath.
Honey is used often in magic to sweeten a situation. The Honey Jar spell is an example. Anointing your lips with honey will make your words sound sweeter. The white noise (noise that cancels out other sounds) that beehives make may have applications for Chaos Magic. (borrowed respectfully from witchipedia.com)
Magical uses of Bee Pollen include friendship, attraction, love, strength, happiness, and overcoming depression.
