I knew something was going on with the bees I had picked up from Napa, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was they were doing. They seemed a little more active, but not crazy active. I don’t know how to explain it, but when they decided to swarm, it was an EVENT! Yesterday I had been working out in the yard, so I would occasionally pass the Napa bees to get a tool out of the shed, luckily I was able to catch them right when they began to swarm. First it was a very active cloud around the hive, with them flying higher and wilder than normal, but the real show began when they began pouring out of the beebox like wild buzzing liquid. I got my bee suit on quickly and was able to be right in the middle of the action. I was thrilled when they had landed right on the bait box I set up six feet away. Unfortunately they decided that it wasn’t the home for them, and after 15 minutes they left. I was heartbroken! I had a swarm, MY SWARM, right there in my grasp and they left. NOOOOOO!!!! I keep thinking I should have grabbed them when I had the chance. Lesson learned I guess. I even ran around the neighborhood to see if I could find them. No luck there. It is just the beginning of swarm season, so I still have a chance of catching other swarms. I really just need to keep positive.

The Message for the Last Days: Biblical and Historical Understanding of End Times
by K.J. Soze
Genre: Religion & Spirituality
FREE for a limited time
This award winning book examines the biblical quest to obtain eternal life. It guides you through the journey in a step by step progression, from ancient prophecies to their final fulfillment. The Message for the Last Days maps out God’s time intersection of your temporary condition compared to the eternal.
The future is revealed by understanding the past; where history and mystery are intertwined.
How can we know what the future holds if we don’t understand the past? This question is at the heart of this book as much of modern Christian culture has lost its roots. The crux of the book is derived from consistent biblical interpretation methods to find hard truths about our fate mentioned in the Bible.Topics include answers to these questions:
Why is the Christian Church so divided with many different denominations and independent Churches? Isn’t there just one true Church?
How did the modern Church get so far removed from early Church beliefs as clearly stated in the New Testament and by the early Church fathers?
What are the original prophecies in the Old Testament about the end times and how are they repeated in the New Testament?
Does the nation of Israel have anything to do with end times? What is the true meaning of the gospel and salvation?
These questions are answered by a thorough examination of various interpretation methods. This book explains six different biblical interpretation options then reveals a unified approach to understanding the Bible.
Books and articles by KJ Soze cut across various denomination lines to help find unity and clarity for those who may hold differing interpretations.
The Message for the Last Days provides detailed historical research of complex topics, such as end times and the afterlife, then condenses the results into a compact format to save time for those interested in biblical studies. The process is an integration of scriptural references, concordances, topical studies and commentaries into a unique package to help clarify the Bible’s message about the future.
