I have a brother in law who is a bee keeper. He harvests the honey in the fall. It's a hobby he enjoys.
Every bee in a colony has a specific job. Although it's the worker who produces the honey, the colony cannot survive without each type of bee performing the functions they were created to do.
Workers are the smallest and constitute the majority of bees occupying the colony. "Workers have specialized structures, such as brood food glands, scent glands, wax glands, and pollen baskets, which allow them to perform all the labors of the hive. They clean and polish the cells, feed the brood, care for the queen, remove debris, handle incoming nectar, build beeswax combs, guard the entrance, and air-condition and ventilate the hive during their initial few weeks as adults. Later as field bees they forage for nectar, pollen, water, and propolis (plant sap)." https://agdev.anr.udel.edu/maarec/honey-bee-biology/the-colony-and-its-organization/
If every Christian worked as hard sharing the Gospel as bee's work in their colony producing honey, can you imagine the revival we would see world wide?
Matthew 9:35-38
The Need for Workers
35 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And He healed every kind of disease and illness. 36 When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37He said to His disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields.”
Blessings, Cecilia
