Bubilas

God of honey and bee-drones

Can also turn to Ragutis (litteraly means drinking horn) – god of fermentation and mead.

Bubilas is rather short, stout redneck, usually caries mead horns and a cask of honey.

He usually wears linen shirt.

He is just opposite to his workaholic wife goddess Auteja.

Bubilas is a lazy sweet tooth and drunkard.

He makes sure that the bees are well crowded so that the cranes do not eat the honey from the hives.

He looks after cranes, while he himself crawls into the hive, licks the honey and does not feel the measure.
Bubilas is also responsible for the honey drink mead*. He keeps checking to see if the mead has fermented well, and he drools for days after tasting it.

In ancient times, beekeepers worshiped Bubilas sitting by the stove. The oldest beekeeper holding a container of fresh honey. When the prayers had already been said, he shouted and slammed the vessel into the oven to break it into pieces, and then he asked the bees to press well so that they would bring a lot of honey.

 

*Mead is an alcoholic drink made by ancient Lithuanians from honey, water and herbs.
In ancient times, Mead sacrificed to the gods.
