I will have to add him to my "Irish bee saints" 💛🐝

Here's my "Gobnait" in a local grotto near my house and here's some lovely artwork of her by @theworkofbees.bsky.social I have as a canvas print!

I'm also a big fan of Italy's St. Rita of Cascia 😉🐝

Excellent! Yes, I've collected lots of stories that describe bees visiting babies in cradles & imparting gifts of wisdom and eloquence of speech 💫

I'm particularly intrigued by how various traditions/saints around bees relate to each other, such as Ballyvourney with Ortezzano/Fermo Italy 😮

It's what I do to *try* to "stay sane", whatever that means these days 😅😏

But either way, always fun to to find—and share with—fellow bee and/or saint enthusiasts! 🐝
