Good morning! I've been contacted this week by someone who has a natural beehive on their property. Unexpected hives aren't always welcome or safe: so, is there anyone on this list who might remove the hive and relocate it? This would be a great way to start beekeeping in full, and you'll preserve an established hive of our precious bees. Please contact me if you're interested. Many thanks!

"Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri reported: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and told him that his brother’s stomach was upset. The Prophet said, “Give him honey.” So he gave it to him, but then later he came and said, “I have given him honey but it has only made his stomach more upset.” He said this three times and then he came a fourth time, and the Prophet said, “Give him honey.” He said, “I have already given it to him but it has only made his stomach more upset.” The Prophet said, “Allah has spoken the truth and your brother’s bowels are mistaken.” So the Prophet made him drink more honey and he recovered."

"There is a story of a leader of the Sangat, who offered honey to Guru Sahib. The Guru refused, stating that when he had needed it most, the man had refused him. When the Sikh asked for enlightenment, the Guru pointed towards Bhai Kattu, a poor Sikh who was hungry and had been denied honey by the same man. 'Feeding the poor is actually feeding the Guru,' he explained."

Welcome to all of our new friends! This early warm weather reminds us that bees will be back in our own back yards very soon. Are you planting this year? Consider flowers, herbs, vegetables or decorative plants. Make your corner of the world part of the global habitat!
