BEEKEEPING
Dear Fam, congrates to Jerry and Jason on a new baby to come, ConGRATULATIONS TO jOCELYN ON BEING THE NEW PRIMARY pRES IN THE sINGAPORE EXPAT WARD. I am studing the beekeeping for dummies book to learn how to care for a backyard beehive. Bees are the most facinating of creatures. Did you know the worker bees only have a live span of 6 weeks and all the queen does is lay eggs her whole life. For two years. Grahams brother Trevor is helping me get my queen and first swarm. I am going to teach my grandchildren to love honey bees and not be afraid of them. Nature and Heavenly fathers creations are amazing in paralleles to our own life. Just like my chickens. I sure miss fresh eggs daily. Kelbys' graduation is May 23rd at 11;00 and then we fly from St. George at 2;50 to go to Atlanta Georgia by 10;30 to be with Yuba and Goldie in the Temple for their endowments and sealing the next day. What a wonderful occasion to see all my brothers children sealed to their spouces and living the Gospel. I am a blessed girl. My own posterity are also holding onto the Iron rod. I am grateful every day! Speaking of blessings, I sure have alot of family names that need the inititory done for both men and women. I sure would like to baby sit while some of you couples take advantage of the wonderful reminders of those beautiful blessings of the inititory. Sure love each of you>>>>>> mom

As usual! Mom has her ideas and is going 90 while dad is just shaking his head saying what in the world. That ocd sure keeps mom hoppin'. I do have to say I vote no for the bees. But since when does any of our opinions matter to mom. I am glad for the experience of being at the sealing and Kelby's graduation. THat sounds special. I was wishing I could go to the temple as I pick names for counselors this week. No such luck here. Love you all@ Joce
Bees? What is going on with Nan getting crazy ideas from the Darby Family? On the other hand Nan thank you for your wonderful example of faith and what life is really about.
Our little family of bees arrived from California and are all safely tucked in their new hive in the backyard. The little girls are ajusting to their new surroundings and tending to the Queen.Each has her different duties to make the hive run smoothly. Some guard the entrance from intruders, some draw out beeswax comb cells to store honey or for the queen to lay eggs in. Others fan to keep the hive temperature perfect for hatching brood.Most forage for nectar and pollan to make honey to feed the hive and enough extra for us to enjoy also.Some make wax caps to cover each little cell after the Queen lays an egg in it, 1500 eggs a day.Only a few drones in the hive to mate with the Queen bee. What a facinating and genious creation of Heavenly Father
