About the Origins of Napoleon's Gold Bee Symbol
The bee was chosen by Napoleon to link the new dynasty to the ancient kingdom of France. Golden bees, were found in 1653 in Tournai in the tomb of Childeric I, father of Clovis I and founder of the Merovingian dynasty. They were considered the first emblem of the kings of France. 

After much consideration, Napoleon chose the bee as the emblem to represent his status as Emperor. It is a motif rich in meanings.
