Mystery of the Rosslyn Chapel stone bee hives

Probably has to do with the Cavity Structural Effect. Grebennikov was on to something. http://www.rexresearch.com/grebenn/grebenn.htm The first man made bee hive? please! ever heard of Utah, the Beehive state? We have bee hives all over the place here. we put them on top of our important buildings.. for some reason. http://protophoto.com/images/slc08/DSC_6798.JPG

Err..I don't think you thought that last statement through. ...If these beehives are 600 years old....that would make them...older than the state of Utah....older than the entire United States...and um, the first man-made beehives known. i withdraw that last statement. but still interesting use of beehives from the same secret society

mmmm... Sacred mead, I think they have Rosslyn Chapel all wrong. It is has a lot of Pagan influence in the carvings around it. I think it was built as a Pagan Chapel. Funny that was my first thought. Then my second thought was that maybe they were attempting somehow to harvest honey? (With out thinking it through.) Or they were just for decoration?

For those who have read "Holy Blood Holy Grail", bees have always been an important symbols for the Merovingian kings. In some of the graves, up to 850 golden bees have been found (Napoleon was wearing some of those bees on his coat while crown emperor). Since Rosslyn Chapel is a very important structure in the story, perhaps the beehives were a hidden way of teaching us something (I'm not trying to bring in the Da Vinci Code of a certain dan brown)... ( :angry2: :angry2: :angry2: dang I just did).

The first man made bee hive? please! ever heard of Utah, the Beehive state? We have bee hives all over the place here. we put them on top These are the first known man-made stone bee hives.

Bees are an interesting symbol. As has been mentioned they were a symbol of the Merovogians but why? The metaphor of milk and honey is used in alchemy sometimes but I see two other potential resaons for the use of bees. Bees have a hive mind so could it be a clue to a collective consciousness. Alternatively, isn't there something in quuantum physics to do with the dance bees do to communicate. It's hardly convincing I know but it is just about possible that there was some hidden meaning to them. Maybe not though, they may have just appreciated honey and no more.

Funny that was my first thought. Then my second thought was that maybe they were attempting somehow to harvest honey? (With out thinking it through.) Or they were just for decoration? I know the area well. They were put there to stop the locals nicking lead of the roof!!

Or maybe they are there because it is difficult to sculpt perfect hexagons and they show off the stone masons skill. Not everything has to be a conspiracy theory.

The land of milk and honey? Milk and honey, the food of the gods. Bees are very symbolic as much for their industrialness as their product.
