This Charm for a swarm of bees was used by the person reciting it to hopefully prevent a swarm of bees from flying away. There were very few ingredients as sweet as honey in Anglo-Saxon England, so with the wide spread consumption of beverages such as mead throughout the land, having honey available was of a great importance. The charm itself is completely Heathen.
