According to legend, St. Ambrose's father predicted the future Bishop of Milan's eventual eloquence when a swarm of bees was discovered covering the sleeping infant's head. The bees, however, didn't sting the infant. They merely dropped a bit of honey on the future saint's tongue and then flew off. The honey was a foreshadowing of the sweet, soul-strengthening words that this orator-to-be would one day preach. The fighting bee is a symbol of work, creative activity, cooperation, obedience, orderliness, and diligence. Ambrose's mascot, the Fighting Bee, inspires pride in its athletes and fans and is the only college mascot of its kind in the world. The Fighting Bee also symbolizes the drive and tenacity that the university athletics teams display in competition.
