The Universal Masonic Flag: Symbolic Geometry.

The Arrangement of the Bees Around the Beehive.

Freemasonry conceives geometry as a philosophical language and as the foundation of universal order. For this reason, the placement of the bees around the beehive follows a precise geometric pattern, rich in initiatic meaning.

The Correct Geometric Structure.

In this flag:

• The beehive occupies the exact center of the green field.
• The seven bees are arranged around it, forming a perfect geometric circle.

Angular Distribution.

The bees are positioned according to a division of the circle into seven equal sectors, each measuring approximately 51.42°.

This arrangement produces:

• A circle of seven equidistant points.
• A symbolic crown surrounding the beehivel
• The idea that the virtues encircle, protect, and sustain the central work

Symbolism of the Circle of Seven.

The circle expresses:

• Perfect unity
• A continuous cycle of labor
• Protection of the luminous center
• Harmony between the individual and the collective

The Number Seven, in Organizing the Circle, 

Reinforces the Notion of Spiritual Fullness and Cosmic Order.
