Survival

Despite great activity over the weekend we are all intact, but very tired!  Back to the Monday hum-drum.   My son is now graduated, officially, from high school.  We celebrated with grandparents and a few close friends.   He has many prospects for the fall, but as he is enrolled full-time in college already we are waiting for a lighter schedule to make some decisions about the future.
The new hives have distinct personalities.  One is laid back and sweet.  One is defensive and aggressive.  I know which one I'll have to avoid until they get to know me.
The queen in the old hive is still alive, but there is no brood.  Yet.  We are trying to see what will come of the miticide and other care given to prolong her life.
I keep praying for a miracle to occur, and for the bees to develop some ability or capability to withstand the bee collapse issues that plague the world today.
There is an article on World Net Daily today which sums up some of the issues really well.  It is frightening.
As a Bible Believing Christian I know and cling to promises in Scripture that we can put our trust in the Lord. That includes everything----the demise of the bees, the demise of our lifestyles, the demise or profit of our very lives.  How many Christians have taken that promise to their violent ends?  They are the ones who stand at the throne of God.  It is far better to have that hope of eternity than to live a life of wanton waste.  That is truly survival at its absolute best.  God bless you.
