Honeybees, one misconception to them is they are vicious creature to bring violence
and go to sting you. I myself have a terrible fear in bees. They freak me out. But after
allot of research and with the help of National Geographic research, I learned that there
is so much more behind the bee than stinging. Their survival skills is quite remarkable.
So I’m going to borrow a few time to inform you about this amazing bees and why they
are fascinating.
Honeybees live in large "families" and are found all over the world. The honeybee is the
only social insect whose colony can survive many years. That is because they huddle
together and eat honey to keep themselves alive during the winter months.
Honeybees pollinate more than 100 crops

Their wings flap 11,000 times per minute, which is why it sounds like they are "buzzing".
Honeybees can only sting once, because their stingers are barbed and tear off when
they try to get away.
Honeybees produce honey from pollen and nectar of the plants they pollinate. They
store the honey in honeycombs in their nests, which they use to feed their young in
colder months.
Habitat: Honeybee nests vary in size. They typically build their nests in tree crevices,
but will occasionally build nests in attics or chimneys.
Impact: Honeybees do sting, but they only sting once. The sting can be extremely
painful if the stinger is not immediately removed from the skin. Persons allergic to insect
stings will have a more severe reaction.
Prevention: Because honeybee colonies can be extremely large and removal can be
very messy, only a pest management professional or experienced beekeeper can safely
remove a honeybee nest.
So next time you see a bee flying around, buzzing a sound doing it’s thing, think
yourself, Wow that’s remarkable creature! Thank you so much more!

What matters most is Love, without it we don’t survive, they say love is blind, they say
love is the splendor of things, other one says the more you hate the more you love. But
let’s see the real meaning of love from the creator of love. It is said on the book of love
that, love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not
dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. So no matter how you thinks about love,
always remember that there is a real meaning of love. Claim it pursue it and live about it.
Argumentative Communication
“Why do bad things happen to good people?” is one of the most difficult questions in
all of questions. God is sovereign, so all that happens must have at least been allowed
by Him, if not directly caused by Him. At the outset, we must acknowledge that
human beings, who are not eternal, infinite, or omniscient, cannot expect to fully
understand God’s purposes and ways.

The Bible deals with the issue of why God allows bad things to happen to good people.
Job was a righteous man (Job 1:1), yet he suffered in ways that are almost beyond
belief. God allowed Satan to do everything he wanted to Job except kill him, and
Satan did his worst. What was Job’s reaction? “Though he slay me, yet will I hope in
him” (Job 13:15). “The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of
the LORD be praised” (Job 1:21). Job did not understand why God had allowed the
things He did, but he knew God was good and therefore continued to trust in Him.
Ultimately, that should be our reaction as well.

Why do bad things happen to good people? As hard as it is to acknowledge, we must

remember that there are no “good” people, in the absolute sense of the word. All of
us are tainted by and infected with sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8).
As Jesus said, “No one is good—except God alone” (Luke 18:19). All of us feel the
effects of sin in one way or another. Sometimes it’s our own personal sin; other
times, it’s the sins of others. We live in a fallen world, and we experience the effects
of the fall. One of those effects is injustice and seemingly senseless suffering.

When wondering why God would allow bad things to happen to good people, always
look at the starting point of fall in the creation. That’s why we always be thankful To
the Creator by His grace, He did not wipe us all who have fall.
