Additional info
The bee was the symbol of the powerful Barberini family. A member of the Barberini family was elected to the papacy in the 17th Century as Pope Urban VIII. This pope and in fact, the entire family, since there were a number of Barberini cardinals - built and donated things all over Rome - altars, refurbishments of churches, etc. Their gifts were often distinguished by their symbol, a bee, hidden (or not so hidden) somewhere in the work. A swarm of bees figure on the Barberini family crest.
Timorous Beasties Barberini design has recently been used in the Chicago Art Institute in America.
