MAY 18, 2025: TELLING THE BEES
Jared Flagler, Vine & Hive
with Spiral Web and the Lifespan Religious Education Committee
Bees are the humming heart of the world, playing a vital role in pollination. Bees are essential for plant reproduction, supporting food chains and ecosystems, and also have cultural and spiritual significance. Without bees, there would be no flowers and no fruit. Without bees, there would be no life.
"Hide from your neighbors as much as you please, but everything that happens, you must tell the bees." Paraphrased from Rudyard Kipling, this references the ancient custom of keeping the bees informed about important life events - births, marriages, deaths - to insure the health and welfare of the hive, which includes us, too.
Please join Jared Flagler of Vine & Hive, Spiral Web and the Lifespan Faith Development Committee as we explore and celebrate the magic of bees. You will also have a chance to visit with the Queen Bee, tell her a secret and receive a message from the hive.
