Honeybee's
Many of you know that honeybee's are the ones who supply our honey. BUT there is one thing we want to know! How do the bee keepers know what kind of honey it is? We have a bottle of honey here that is labeled Orange Blossom Honey. How do they know the difference between Orange Blossom and say.... Wildflower?
Just like Proverbs says: Train up a child in the way he should go. The same with the honeybee's. The Honey Keeper puts the Bees by the Wild flowers or the Orange Blossoms. See this is similiar to a child. If you put the bee in the middle of wild flowers you'll get wild flower honey. If you put a child in the middle of the world - what will you get?
If you put the child in Gods hands and supply it with prayer, you will get a godly young child that is focused on the Lord. This is the conversation I had with my mother this morning after I poured some honey in my cereal. I asked her if this were right and she thought I should blog.
Here are a few neat honey bee tidbits:
Amazing Facts...About Honey
1. Honey never spoils. No need to refrigerate it. It can be stored unopened, indefinitely, at room temperature in a dry cupboard.
2. Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.
3. Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.
4. Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
5. To make honey, bees drop the collected nectar into the honeycomb and then evaporate it by fanning their wings.
6. Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
7. To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.
Live well! Love much! Laugh often!
