And the Lord taught the Bee to build its cells in hills, in trees, and in men’s habitats; then to eat of all the produce and find with the skill the precious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men; verily this is a sign for those who give thought. - Qur'an sura ‘The Bee’ in ayyats 68 and 69.
Dear Sisters & Brothers,
I wanted to share these photos with you from a friend in SA (South Africa). Her family keeps bees on their property and she says it is very easy. This is something I dream of doing. Bees are such a blessed creature and yet the mass-production of honey is so harmful to them (and to us). It would be so wonderful if more of us could start a little project like this in our backyards!
I know that in my town here we also have a local beekeeping club that helps people start projects like this. If you are interested you might want to look into local chapters of this club. For now, you can be inspired by Carle and Karl...
Blessings & Health,
