The well-known insect that supplies honey. They are referred to symbolically as chasing and surrounding an enemy, and the painfulness of their attacks has often been experienced. Deuteronomy 1:44; Judges 14:8; Psalm 118:12; Isaiah 7:18 . Bees abound in Palestine, making their nests in the woods and in the clefts of the rocks, which habit well illustrates the description of the land as "flowing with milk and honey:" cf. 1 Samuel 14:26 .
