Didn't something else happen on December 7th as well.....
Oh well... I guess Pearl Harbor will have to take second seat....:)
You learn something new everyday.
Proof that you can find a sorehead in a beekeeper forum on any subject :thunder: (not smart enough to do the imoticons but not trying to start a fight either!
How exactly does one celebrate this day? If it's some kind of kinky candle thing count me out. I don't like getting burnt. :-D
It is just useless nonsense like most of my head is packed with. I will say it to appear different and knowledgeable and I will get enough satisfaction from that. I will give more reflection of Pearl harbor and it will also always be Pearl Harbor Day and always be vigilant to forestall another and resolved to respond as thundrously!
Oops!!! didn't mean to step on your toes Vance... just responding to Bluebee... I would surely rather celebrate a Saint than what happened at Pearl.. Peace brother :)

I actually have been dipping candles all week in prep for the Christmas rush. Now I have a saint to blame my mania on.

The story goes that as an infant, a swarm of bees landed on his face and left a drop of honey. Meaning to his father he was going to be an orator. So he was raised to be one probably. Just a fun thing.

[4] There is a legend that as an infant, a swarm of bees settled on his face while he lay in his cradle, leaving behind a drop of honey. His father considered this a sign of his future eloquence and honeyed tongue. For this reason, bees and beehives often appear in the saint's symbology.
found a list of others with a cool pic :) RDY-B
