15 NAPOLEON BEES
The modern work of art,
as I have said, is a symbol.
H. Read
No, Napoleon was not a bee-keeper. However, he often wore images of this industrious insect as it was considered a symbol of immortality and resurrection.
Hexagon - The hexagonal symbolism of the beehive contains the sacred number 6, which stands for balance and union.
Double triangle - To the Greeks, the triangle is symbolic of a doorway and revisits the combination of polarities to push out a new opening. Each side and corner sings out a melody, and their combination in form creates a harmonic orchestration.
