Been working on the bees lately. When I got the supers out to put on for honey, some of them had mildew on them. I researched it and found I could put them on the hives, and guess what? The bees will clean them up!!!!! Honey has small traces of mold spores, that's why it is so good for allergies. Can you believe what a miracle food God created? The world of bees is so complex only an intelligent creator could have engineered it. It is most definitely not the product of an accident.
In the Spring I have to check for wax moths and paint the boxes so they will weather better.Just last week I put some empty boxes on the above hives and yesterday when I went to check, they were already full of honey!
I have to guard against wax moths. They love the empty comb. They lay eggs in the comb and then as they grow they eat through the comb leaving havoc behind. A good freeze at just the right time will kill them, you can put the boxes in the freezer, or put moth crystals in while storing to deter them from coming.
Symbolically I was thinking sin is like those moths, and left alone, eats and destroys till completely unusable. But Christ's blood is like that good freeze, totally killing the sin and stopping it dead in its tracks. That's my sermon for the day. Hope ya'll enjoy my world of beekeeping
