It is so good to see the bees abounding in our garden. While it is still winter, our balmy days make it feel like spring. The wonderful bee, this diligent worker, who by the time she is fifteen days old, gets to live it’s last week as a labourer in the fields, knowing the harvest is not theirs, but they get to share in its goodness. Ever so focussed, these workers not only harvest, but by Divine design, also sow seeds of fruitfulness as they fly from one flower to another, cross pollinating as they go.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
(Amos 9:13)
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
(John 4:34-38)
Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
(Luke 10:2-3)
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
(1 Corinthians 3:5-9)

Judges 14:18 “And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle.”” Bees and honeycombs have a great presence in the Word of God. On wings of bees 🐝 we can sing heavenly praise of thanksgiving a prayer perhaps? Sweet honey, we receive grace and blessings from God. Amen
Yes, honey is mentioned often, and speaks to me of the sweetness of God, His promises, refreshing, revelation, and healing. A wonderful reminder of God’s goodness. (Deut. 8:8; 1 Sam. 14:27; Matt. 3:4; Rev. 10:9)
