Elizabeth Lawrence, American Horticulturalist, (1904-1985)

In Greek mythology, bees were believed to be the souls of priestesses who had been in the service of Aphrodite during their lifetimes. In Ancient Greece, at the temple of Aphrodite at Eryx, priestesses were called “Melissae”, which means "Bees,” Aphrodite herself was called Melissa, the Queen Bee.
