Board Thread:General Grimm Discussion/@comment-35242645-20180409204958

I was interested why the authors of the series made bees the mortal enemies of the witches of the grimm universe. Bees are associated with the preservation of life with the natural forces of reality and hexenbiests are associated with death and messing with the natural forces of reality. Its even stated of all the vvesens grimms had good relationship with mellifers.

Also in celtic culture bees are thought as messangers from the spirit world and if hexenbiests are conmected to the vvesen hell maybe mellifers have some connection to some vvesen heaven. If dark magic in the grimm universe exists im assuming light or holy magic exists aswell. We see various vvesems throughout the series besides hexenbiests could harness mystical powers maybe theres a mystical element to mellifers aswell. On a side note dumbledores name is inspired by bees.
