Fragment: Intelligent Bees

From: The Christian Shepherd: 2004

“All that believed were together” (Acts 2:44⁴⁴And all that believed were together, and had all things common; (Acts 2:44)). “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” (Heb. 10:25²⁵Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25)).

Sometimes bees seem to have more sense than Christians. When cold winter winds howl, a colony of bees moves together into a compact ball of warmth and life. They cling closely to one another, warm one another, and feed one another. And they survive those winter blasts together when, if scattered and separated, they would perish.
