The beauty of a honey bee hive Miss queen how do you keep These workers in order Everything has to come together In preparation of this honey to thrive A constant temperature to keep On hot days you say some of you all have to get out While on cold days they come together In One harmony and Accord flapping wings To bring warmth and comfort Some specialize in sealing out the cracks So moisture does not destroy While others make a insulation Many fly around seeking tasteful flowers So many jobs of these bees but they All come together in knowing their part To think of all the workers that worked To not see the reward of this honey But they knew this was for the true honey That would give life unto many generations to come Now ,the Ones after this Has been completed Have been given access to taste this honey And say this honey is good Why, are so many still trying to make their own For the word of God is true honey Made Complete by the inheritance Of the promised Spirit to reign within

Some seek aliens from space to studie in wonder. When the real mystery is right under their nose.

We need the rain Stephen.' Leading to His Physical Reign, thank God things will never Be the same..' And we will darned well have To get used to it, I mean colours so bright yet That are easy to view the crystal river flowing From His Majestic throne maybe we will skim Rubies and diamonds across the celestial seas? Eat splendid fruit, wd have as yet unseen maybe Bow with the elders? 24 strong sing with Isaiah To God in new songs.' Amen Stephen.'

Dear Stephan, its not everyday we read a poem so creative like this written about bees and beehives and I absolutely love this the way you’ve woven words and also how deeply you’ve pondered and thought of the work they do to, nature and the almost miracles all around us, gods creation you’ve described in a way that we would all appreciate and it can also resonate with so many. It can be a metaphor too for something deeper and thats the beauty of poetry like this! I am truly in awe!Happy new year

??John? ?4:36?-?38? ?KJVAAE?? [36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. [37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. [38] I sent you to reap that whereupon ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.

I enjoyed reading this informative work about the honeybee which led the reader into your faith-based message at the end. God is the One Who made those bees and told them what to do and how to do it and they obey. If only mankind would do the same, listen to God's call, heed His call, accept His call, and then obey Him in what He has for them to do. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Your poem poem beautifully weaves together the intricate workings of a honey bee hive with profound spiritual reflections. The analogy of the hive, with its organized labor, temperature regulation, and collaborative efforts, serves as a powerful metaphor for the divine order in the world. The imagery of bees diligently working together to create honey parallels the idea of individuals fulfilling their roles in the grand tapestry of life, guided by a higher purpose... Brilliant!

All glory to God, love your comments of the Spirit flowing throughout: ) if one wants to be amazed read about a honey bee hive ,the queen sends out pheromones that keep the hive in order, so think of the Holy Spirit drawing us to God, my brother has honey bees so he tells me about them a lot as well, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance

How beautifully you have aligned the beehive and the honey that bees make with the honey of perpetual bliss which God has promised us. But so many of us without tasting that honey go after other things which will eventually turn bitter on their tongue. Great analogy dear Stephan.
