This process, as it is shown in the work, was formed by several factors. An external factor that was canonizing saints and forming lists of saints revered on certain daysby the churches played a leading role. This list was externally imposed on calendar customs and rites of the Ukrainian people. However, it is shown that such purely external imposition of respect for the saints could not penetrate the minds of people so deeply because it needed philosophical foundations. So, the leading role in this process was played by the prominent theologians who made the symbolic comparisons of the hives with the church of Christ and the bees – with Christians who have to work every day in order to secure the kingdom of God and eternal life for themselves. The latter, in the minds of the Ukrainian people, even in the pagan period was closely connected with thescarifying fire of heaven that at the level of family and community rituals was symbolized by the fire of wax candle that cleaned, protected and defended the man and his family. The Solovetsky monks Zosima and Savvaty became such a kind of heavenly fire, fiery pillars that preserve, protect, and convert people. Such interpretation could promote their patronage of beekeeping in the people’s consciousness as a matter of God.
