Subject: Bees

I took a bit of time out and went and played with the bees.

Although I would like to keep a hive I realize that I don't have the time, fortunately there is a club with in reach and we have an apiary of 7 hives.
I heard or read that of all the the animals that man has got to work for him the bee was the first that was domesticated, and you thought it was something else. The bees make a substance that they seal the areas that they don't want open [or what ever] called "propolis" (bee glue) and they used it on the Egyptian pharaohs when the prepared the dead for the next world, and we thought that the bees only were for visiting flowers and making honey
