the possible inner workings of the Vikings’ legendary sólarsteinn, which was said to reveal the true bearing of a hidden sun, even on overcast days and during long summer twilights in the northerly latitudes. Researchers long speculated that the sunstone might have been a transparent type of calcite, common in Iceland, that has optical properties akin to linearly polarizing filters for a camera

Viking's Sun Seeking Navigational Crystal Mystery: possible explanation
Proceeding of the Royal Society: LINK
I find this fascinating, what do you think?
Here’s where the “sixth sense” comes in: The investigators say that if you look through the crystal in its depolarizing position and then pull it away suddenly from your line of sight, you can catch a glimpse of a faint, elongate yellowish pattern known as a Haidinger’s Brush. The key here is that the ends of that yellow shape point directly toward the sun.
The Haidinger’s Brush phenomenon amounts to a greatly scaled-down version of the specialized ability of many insects, cephalopods, amphibians and other animals to “see” polarization patterns in the sky or water. That’s how those animals navigate. Turns out the Vikings may have too. When Ropars’ group asked test subjects to use their method to identify sun direction, their answers were accurate within 5 degrees.

Builders renovating Rosslyn Chapel, which was made famous in The Da Vinci Code, found the "unprecedented" hive while dismantling a rooftop pinnacle.
The bees entered the hive through a hole in a carved flower crafted by the chapel's master stone masons.
"Master masons built these in, whether it was under direction or not. What you find at Rosslyn is there are so many irregularities and nuances in the stone work and it's as if the stone masons are teasing us from the past," Mr Mitchell said.
"These hives were never intended to be a source of honey. They were there purely to protect the bees from our inclement weather."
"At Rosslyn they are there purely for the bees."
He said there appeared to be a coating to protect the sandstone from the insects, which can damage masonry.
The Bee
Symbol of immortality and resurrection, the bee was chosen so as to link the new dynasty to the very origins of France. Golden bees (in fact, cicadas) were discovered in 1653 in Tournai in the tomb of Childeric I, founder in 457 of the Merovingian dynasty and father of Clovis. They were considered as the oldest emblem of the sovereigns of France.

The bee is the most magnet secretive insect, like a canary down a mine, only for specific gravity, and Nostradamus also uses the bee in his picture of the Rose, by Robert Fludds Calvis philosophiae,et Alchymiae 1633 , it being a cryptic
The way I read it is, that the bee makes the royal honey, but in Nostradamus case, the royal couple are the Solar King and the Luna Queen, there for the royal honey is Specific gravity, and or radiation, and there lies your clue, and the shape of the honey comb construction is that of carborundum being that of the magnetic stone being the Sapphire, alter the specific gravity and the results will be devastation, for not only the bees but also for the hives, the picture of the Rose is that of the future, or is that now.

I have never gotten into Nostradamus, so i apologize for my ignorance (although i am a HUGE edgar cayce fan and read everything regarding ancient history) i found the image you were talking about.
What do you mean Specific Gravity?
