My Parents just returned from holiday in Egypt where they toured the pyramids and upper Nile. I asked them to keep an eye out for heiroglyphs of bees, as the bee was the symbol for the King of the lower Nile, and subsequently both the Upper and Lower Kingdoms of Egypt, when the kingdoms were united. Anyway, they found a surprising number of heiroglyphs and I've attached a couple of photographs they took at temples in Karnak (left) and Kom Ombo (right).
