Myth

Many books were written about myth and many myths happen in our lives. Do you believe that? Nevertheless, I did because I knew some people who died and were revived again.
For example, my good friend in Viet-Nam died when I was there, and as they tried to put her in coffin, and then she revived. Everybody was scared and ran away from her dead body. She called someone and said: “Do not be scared. I will not hurt any of you. I am alive now. Please help me.” Some people came back and she told them: “I felt my body become very cold. I tried to call someone but I could not call. I tried to do many things but I could not do it. I ran away to ask some people but no one answered me. I could go through the wall or the locked door but I couldn’t contact people. I saw my body lay on the bed but my body did not move. I knew I had died. Finally, I pray my Buddha please let me come back because I planned many projects to help many people. If I died now, then nobody knows any of my plans to continue. Please let me come back and I will finish my project and go later. I don’t have any personal benefit in this project. Please let me come back. And then I saw the white light shine on my body. Then my body became warmer and warmer and could move and open the eyes and talk.”
She is a very good person who made many projects to help many people thought her life. Now many people continue to pray for her to live long as she can, including me. I don’t know whether the myth can happen or not, but she is still alive.

Bees and bees nest



On second day of my class Religion and Ecology, we learn about bees, our professor brought into the classroom one bees nest. That nest was very pretty I have never seen before. The smell was very sweet like honey.
We learned about the bees working in their life. This is very good to know about them. Bees have their life very organize. I would like to know more, so I search in Internet. I saw ‘’2003 first place essay: Colonial Beekeeping from Shannon Grant ‘’. I copy some of her essay to share to my friends.
There are “3.2 million honey bee colonies, maintained by 211,000 beekeepers, are currently thriving in the United States. Aside from the production of honey and beeswax, these bees pollinate the crops that make up one-third of American food production[7]. Despite the cultural and economic importance of the honey bee, little is known about this creature’s humble beginnings in the American colonies”.
The true honey bee we can use “for food, preparing beverages, making cement, preserving fruit, medicinal purposes, and concocting furniture polish and varnish[6]. Because of unreliable roads and storage difficulties, these items were traded only locally[“10…
The European honey bees to touch mainland North America were sent by the Virginia Company in 1621. As of 1985….
There were a limited number of ways in which the bees could have traveled. Honey bees of this era were kept in a hollow logs, wooden boxes, pottery vessels, or skeps[3]. As long as the openings of the hives were covered, the bees could survive inside for a least tow to three months….
There is no doubt that honey bees were precious to the early Americans. In 1868, a single imported Italian queen bee was valued at $20[7]. Compare this to prices in 2003, where a queen can be had for $14[11]. Since $1 in 1868 is equivalent to $11.77 in 2003, that queen bee would have a value of $235 today[4]. Additionally, six states elected to make the honey bee their official insect[2]….
Our nation has benefited from nearly 400 years of the honey bee’s labor. Regardless of the time period, this fascinating creature has contributed to the welfare of the human race, and will continue do so while the apiarian art survives….
This is very interesting and would like to know more. Then I will share it with my friends. Shannon Grant is very deserving to win first place essay ‘’Colonial Beekeeping’’ in 2003. She lives in Rathdrum, Idaho.

The European honey bees to touch mainland North America were sent by the Virginia Company in 1621. As of 1985….
There were a limited number of ways in which the bees could have traveled. Honey bees of this era were kept in a hollow logs, wooden boxes, pottery vessels, or skeps[3]. As long as the openings of the hives were covered, the bees could survive inside for a least tow to three months….
There is no doubt that honey bees were precious to the early Americans. In 1868, a single imported Italian queen bee was valued at $20[7]. Compare this to prices in 2003, where a queen can be had for $14[11]. Since $1 in 1868 is equivalent to $11.77 in 2003, that queen bee would have a value of $235 today[4]. Additionally, six states elected to make the honey bee their official insect[2]….
Our nation has benefited from nearly 400 years of the honey bee’s labor. Regardless of the time period, this fascinating creature has contributed to the welfare of the human race, and will continue do so while the apiarian art survives….
This is very interesting and would like to know more. Then I will share it with my friends. Shannon Grant is very deserving to win first place essay ‘’Colonial Beekeeping’’ in 2003. She lives in Rathdrum, Idaho.
