Το μενταγιόν των μινωικών μελισσών, ένα από τα πιο διάσημα μινωικά έργα τέχνης, ανακαλύφθηκε στο νεκροταφείο του Παλαιού Ανακτόρου στο Χρυσόλακκο, έξω από το ανάκτορο των Μαλίων, το τρίτο μεγαλύτερο και σημαντικότερο γνωστό μινωικό ανάκτορο μετά την Κνωσσό και τη Φαιστό. Χρυσόλακκος σημαίνει “Λάκκος του χρυσού” λόγω των πολλών πολύτιμων αντικειμένων που βρέθηκαν εκεί. Το διάσημο μενταγιόν χρονολογείται από την Εποχή του Χαλκού, (1800 π.Χ.) και είναι μια εκπληκτική, πολύ λεπτομερής αναπαράσταση δύο μελισσών ή σφηκών που αποθηκεύουν μια σταγόνα μέλι στην κηρήθρα τους. Αυτό το μενταγιόν είναι ένα από τα πιο διάσημα εκθέματα στο θαυμαστό αρχαιολογικό μουσείο του Ηρακλείου.
