FAQs

What do bees do with leftover honey? ›

The honey that is not harvested goes to feed the colony during the cold winter months. They leave what they do not use and build upon it the next season. Secondly, other bees and insects steal honey that is in the hives. Bees from other colonies will bring back honey from another hive to their own.

What do bees symbolize in the Bible? ›

Honey and honey bees are used as images to convey God's blessings, God's love, strength, wisdom, things of great worth and even references to Christ. Some Biblical names, like Deborah, the name of the famous and only female leader of Israel in the time of the Judges, means bee in Hebrew.

Who wrote the beekeeper's Bible? ›

The Beekeeper's Bible: Bees, Honey, Recipes & Other Home Uses by Richard A. Jones | Goodreads.

What does it mean when a bee enters your house? ›

If the bee is discovered in the kitchen or on a windowsill, it is thought to be a sign that good things are on their way. Some people believe that having a bee in your house means you should venture outside of your comfort zone – in fact, you should because that is where true fulfilment and happiness may be found.

How long does beehive honey last? ›

If you're considering throwing it away, think again. You don't have to toss that honey! Even if honey had been sitting on your shelf for 2,000 years, that honey would still be as good as the day you opened it. In a nutshell, well-stored honey never expires or spoils, even if it's been previously opened.
