The hawthorn, once known simply as ‘May’, is naturally enough the tree
most associated with this month in many parts of the British Isles. When
we read of medieval knights and ladies riding out ‘a-maying’ on the
first morning of May, this refers to the flowering hawthorn boughs they
gathered to decorate the halls rather than the month itself.
In Celtic myth, bees were regarded as having great wisdom and acted as
messengers between worlds, able to travel to the Other world, bringing
back messages from the gods. It is necessary to treat the bees as members of the family. They should
be informed of all family happenings, from births to deaths and events
in between, especially weddings.
