    Die god zal nu veel overuren moeten kloppen…
    De totale opbrengst van honing dit jaar is met 60% geminderd tov vorig jaa.r 🤔
    Het aantal bijen is verhouding gewijs evenredig geminderd…

      Dat is triest om te horen.
      Dan hoop ik dat Melisseus te hulp schiet.

    How do honeybees “know” to make their cells hexagonal? Presumably it’s encoded in their DNA, like so many other things.

      Yes, I guess it is. But it is an interesting question.

      Ah, how interesting.
      I think it must be a very interesting job to have.

    It is very symbolic to keep a beekeeper in a jar of honey 🙂

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, actually, the guy in the honey jar is a “drone”. There are assumptions that Melisseus kills his drones and so I put it in a honey jar. 🙂

        It looks like safe place 😀

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Yes, it might be. 🙂

    So different from what I would have pictured. I was thinking it was going to be more like a “God of Bees” – had no idea that is would be a god of extractive benefit. Oh me of little insight.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      For me it is also interesting to explore the lesser known Gods. You can learn a lot and also find intriguing stories.

      Yes, indeed we are.

    Intriguing … I wouldn’t have imagined that the God of Honey would look like that! 🙂

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, he is a smart guy. 🙂
