History

The Malia honeybee pendant was discovered at Chryssolakkos, of the Minoan Palace of Malia on the island of Crete, and is thought to date to c.1800 BC. The named Chryssolakkos means the “pit of gold” because of the precious objects that the farmers used to find there. The Minoan Palace is situated 3 km east of Malia town and is the third most significant known Minoan Palace after Knossos and Phaistos. This pendant is in the shape of two bees, or wasps, storing away a drop of honey in a comb and is one of the most famous exhibits in the Herakleion Museum.
