While not an Old Testament scholar like you, I did my share of beekeeping growing up.<BR/>My dad and Uncle Bruce put 10 hives in the midst of a pimento pepper farm on Monteagle Mtn., in addition to the hives we kept at home.<BR/>After being dragged to monthly meetings of the Chattanooga Area Beekeepers Association and a week-long course in beginning beekeeping each year, I accidently picked up enough knowledge as a teen to tend to some bees in exchange for half of the honey.<BR/>Still today it seems like a near-perfect food and honeybees are amazingly complex creature. I'm delighted that the sweet stuff has such deep biblical roots.<BR/>Now get your archeology buddies together and determine if the honey back then was clover, sourwood, orange blossom or pimento pepper.<BR/>For some reason I'm feeling compelled to put some biscuits in the oven.John D.
