A Beehive
"...bees make honey, and it sure tastes good. Did you ever smell a flower? Well it sure smells good. And you'd be good if you could see how good being good can be."
These words from a childhood song unexpectedly began to sing inside of me after reading an article about the new beehive at the White House. As I watched the video accompanying the article a peacefulness that seemed healing filled the air while President Trump and First Lady Melania showed King Charles and Queen Camilla the new beehive in the White House gardens.
Not only did the White House beehive look beautiful, but it felt as if it was producing healing in a very practical way. A thought came of how wonderful it would be if other homes across our nation would place beehives in their gardens and produce honey for healing and beauty in all of our neighborhoods. Those who don't have beehives could plant flowers for the bees to gather pollen from. Healing from a simple beehive, simple yet profound. The words from that childhood song are flowing again, but stronger this time. "...and you'd be good if you could see how good being good can be." How good being good can be.
