Superstition #411

bumble bee  A bumble bee that is found in the house can signify various different things.  British superstition is divided, some claiming that it is a sure sign that a visitor is about to arrive, while others, more ominously, suggest that is is a portent of death.  In Scotland it is said that killing the first bumble bee of the spring and keeping it safe means that the owner will always enjoy good luck and never be reduced to poverty.
