I can imagine the Pelorian/Solar myths referring to the Bee goddess being part of the great compromise, wherein the powers of Darkness give her as a hand-maid for Dendara, or a concubine for Yelm. (Bees seem very Solar, yet insects are Darkness creatures. How to solve THAT dichotomy?)
As for the Orlanthi*, I can a story wherein Minlister seduces the Bee goddess which explains how mead came to be.
