Yes. The 6th c. St. Abigail {Hebrew for father's joy} of County Cork Ireland has her feast day on Feb. 11th. She is the patron saint of beekeepers, though she is known for much more than that. She was well known for healing illnesses and wounds with honey and herb remedies. St. Abigail also protected her town and the wells from the plague by consecrating the ground. Most likely it was her knowledge of medicine, good foods to eat, and cleanliness that helped her to save her town. St. Abigail's Gailic name is Gobnait {pronounced Gawb-net}. She is also known as St. Deborah {honeybee} in England.
