Captain Jack's Honey Bees

Good Morning my Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus'/Yeshua', I pray that you all will be blessed today, I pray that the LORD will be with you, watch over you & protect you & yours. For in His Holy Name, I ask.

I want to say a few words about the Sabbath to you this morning, I want you to think about it a little more as the day goes by.

Don't you find it strange & isn't it interesting that the only part of the scripture specifically written by God's own finger (Exodus 31:18), His Law, is the part man wants to do away with? And isn't it interesting that the only part of that Law they say is for the Jew only is the only commandment that states it was for the "stranger" too? And isn't it interesting that the only one of the commandments that they say was a ceremonial law instituted at Sinai is the only commandment that specifically states it was instituted at Creation (Genesis 2:2-3), long before sin or Jews or ceremonies? And isn't it interesting that the only commandment man wants to forget is the only one God specifically says to "remember"?

Exodus 20:8-11, "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."

Notice in God's 4th Commandment, we are commanded to "rest" on the seventh day, and do no work. How intriguing! Many people say they "hate" work. They would much rather rest and relax. They "work" all their lives, so they can "rest" and take vacations, and "relax." But when God says to "rest" on a particular day? Suddenly they all have some excuse, and want to go to work on that day! Go figure. When God says "rest," they respond, "No! I want to work!" How perverse is human nature, anyway?

This is what my Honey Hut looks like in the Spring & Summer, when it gets colder I move my Honey inside the porch when I have any left. Sometimes I will sell completely out. So don't wait until fall because I harvest in the Spring & give the Bees the late Sunner & Fall Honey so they can make it through the winter months, I don't like to feed them sugar water or sugar syrup unless I have to..

Folks I am not on this site very often in the Summer months, so please call the # above to get me. Just in case you missed it call 618-922-1199. I will get back to you ASAP.

Right now I am selling Honey, mowing, & helping others get caught up. So as you can see I am on the go most of the time. If I don't happen to answer please leave me a message & a callback # If you want real Raw Honey from Treatment Free Hives call & make an appointment. Most local Beekeepers have some good Honey, but most do run Treatment Free Hives. There are a few in our area so when you find one to support, then support them. That way we can keep Good Healthy Honey for us all.

Several folks have asked me about how I build my swarm traps. This video talks about the plans that I used and the modifications I made.
