Our Hive
Humblebeez is the honey of our homestead. As a homeschooling family, we live a humble life in faith, fellowship, and finances. We work towards growing in every facet of life while seeking to enrich the lives of those around us. Always working, always learning, and always growing to one day be called Good and Faithful Servant. Like the worker bees of the hive, we are constantly building and growing to reap what we sow (we’ve established our brood, so now on to the honey!). Our harvest is for the world but more importantly for the kingdom.
In our pursuit of health, healing, and wholeness, we have embarked upon the adventure of elderberry syrup. Not only is it an immune booster offering so many incredible benefits, it is absolutely DELICIOUS! It has been a saving grace for our family with many littles, fighting off illness and drastically reducing sick times when the “wilderness” hits. The ingredients work together as in a graceful dance, and they glide down the throat with such sweet excitement. Beyond the ingredients themselves, the true choreographer is the humble bee whose work often goes unseen. It is the humble bee who travels from flower to flower, pollinating each plant and making a harvest possible. It is the humble bee who works endlessly to meticulously form that intricate comb which was designed to bring forth life itself in every way. Wax, pollen, nectar, new bees (or brood), honey, and the cycle continues on and on. If it wasn’t for the bee, none of it (or this) would be possible.
As a mom with multiple multiples, and homeschooling on top of that, I do not have an overabundance of time. However, the investment of time and energy spent teaching our children how to plant seeds, garden and harvest, how to use our hands and our heart, how to pray and sit low, how to do all things for good is unparalleled. I often feel like a Queen Bee in our hive’s daily bustle. Observing the bee, its work, its dance, its hive is all so fascinating and all so rewarding; it’s teaching my family that working smarter and harder is truly worth the effort.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our story! We look forward to seeing what lies ahead for Humblebeez and hope that you will cheer us on as we we continue to learn, grow, and serve the world around us. Blessings and health to you!
