For a decade, a beekeeper named Isidoros Țiminis, living in the region of Kapandriti, near Athens, has kept a tradition: every spring, he slips icons of Christ, the Holy Virgin and different saints in his beehives, in order to bless his bees and his yearly honey production.

Every year, the very same mysterious phenomenon occurs: bees make their honeycomb cells around the pious images, meticulously avoiding covering them.

Scientifically it can simply be a phenomenon related to some effect in the painting itself or chemical materials used to create the pictures which might prevent bees from building their honeycombs on them. The work of these peculiar Greek bees never got studied officially by scientific community and remains an interested fact. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1835185922112954368/vid/avc1/708x876/gCiehup9tC3GqTkw.mp4?tag=16
