| There is an old legend about a vacancy for a Polish crown prince (apparently, the lines of inheritance for heirs were empty), and someone named Michael Wiscionsky was the chosen candidate to fill the vacancy. Why? Because a swarm of bees settled on him during the selection process (history also suggests he was not an outstanding leader nor was he remembered for much of anything but the bee story). The bees have such significance in Poland that a bee made of diamonds remains in the crown of the kings, its presence officially extolling the virtues of the bees.

| Once when the crown of Poland was vacant, one of the candidates, Michael Wiscionsky, was chosen because a swarm of bees settled on him during the election. […] His reign, however, was not a very prosperous one. In the crown of the kings of Poland was a diamond bee, to remind them that all virtues are to be found in the bee-state.
