What does the Bee figure tell you?
A swarm points to a social whirl, gatherings or a lively team, and some readers link it with success in public life. If the bee is near the handle, home is full of activity; near the rim, your work may bring sweet results soon.
A question to sit with: Notice whether your busyness is producing honey or just buzzing.
