Hiking

Saint Ambrose behind glass and in a tree trunk is part of the bee trail. According to legend, a swarm of bees settled on his head without hurting him. The bees even entered his mouth as if it were a beehive. The honey from the bees is said to have given him the "gift of honey-sweet speech" in which he wrote his songs and writings.

beautiful carved figure in a tree trunk on the bee trail. St. Ambrose is the patron saint of beekeepers. A swarm of bees is said to have settled on his head but not stung him. They put honey in his mouth so he got a honeyed voice. That's the legend.
