Beehives are a symbol of Idgie’s wild nature and her desire to be a secret keeper. During a picnic with Ruth while they are teenagers, Idgie tames the bees long enough to steal their honey, terrifying Ruth. For the rest of their lives, Ruth refers to Idgie as “the beekeeper” as a symbol of the way she also tamed Ruth’s heart.
