Friday 2nd August

The moon rises in the constellation of Gemini, bringing the element of air. In the beehive, the influence of Gemini promotes the tendency of honeybees to collect pollen. They carry this pollen to the hive in the pollen baskets on the backs of their legs. If you look carefully, you can see this on the bee. The color of the pollen varies from plant to plant. As the bees arrive in the hive, other bees gather the pollen from them and store it in the comb to feed the developing bees. Local honey contains local pollen, creating a unique concoction specific to your locality. A spoonful of honey is part of nature's medicine cabinet.
