How do the Bees Know What Flavor to Make

Our children enjoy a honey stick treat every now and then.  We have several different flavored sticks: cinnamon, apple, mint, and lemmon.  On one ocassion, the question popped up....how do the bees know which flavor to make? 

 "but Jesus said, "let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."” (Mt 19:14)

Bible Bee Bonfire

Wow! I can’t believe we reached the finish line.
 
For the summer Amy & I have been doing the Bible Bee. For twelve weeks we study passages of scripture and memorize 108 scripture verses (we memorized about 1/2 of them). Every summer the Bible Bee picks a book of the bible to study - and this summer was Second Timothy.
This picture is of Amy eating a marshmallow smore. Amy enjoyed smearing the marshmallow on her face, it was funny.J
 
My favorite lessons this summer were: 
1.  Being able to study more of God’s word with my family,
2.  Being able to memorize scripture,  
3.  Learning how to keep going even when the task gets tiring,
4.  Being able to work with my sister during the summer, 
5.  And finishing the Sword Study with joy and more of God’s word then when I started.

Of all the scripture that we covered over the summer, my favorite was Deuteronomy 31:6:
“Do not fear or be afraid of them. For the Lord is one who goes with you He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
 
Amy’s favorite lesson this summer was:  
1.  Memorizing scripture.
2.  Studying God’s word.
3.  Learning  new things with my family.
4.  Waking up at 4:00 AM.
5.  Doing my sword study with my sister.
6.  Doing a challenge very hard and completing it.
 
Amy’s favorite verse of the summer was 2Timothy3:16-17

“All scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for  instruction in  Righteousness so that the man of God may be complete thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
