"Мерысэ, goddess of beekeeping. The kind matron of honeybees. The symbol of womanhood. The patroness of fecundity and childbirth. The gifter of welfare and luck. She is the one whom beekeepers turn to for a bountiful harvest and who women who wish to bear children pray to for fertility. She despises infidelity and exalts cleanliness. She can disguise herself as a queen bee. She usually spends her time in the wilderness, not far away from places with a high population of wild bees. Her primary place of residence is Anantvara rock in Gumista, Abkhazia, on which are many a hive of wild bees, where she’s known as Anana-Gunda (Анана-Гəында)."
