The mystery of icon-preserving bees
For a decade, a beekeeper near Athens, has kept a tradition: every spring, he slips icons of Christ, the Holy Virgin and different saints in his beehives, in order to bless his bees and his yearly honey production. And every year, the very same mysterious phenomenon occurs: bees make their honeycomb cells around the pious images, meticulously avoiding covering them.

first response on a catholic forum:
The Roman Catholic church is the only Christian faith with any mettle.
It’s not bread. It’s Jesus, dipshit. Next question.
It’s jesus, but also jesus’ body activates Celiac’s

he’s wearing false rubber thumbs with a touch-based LED in them! when he puts his index finger to his thumb, it turns the light on.

He’s an orthodox jewish wizard dentist and his Instagram is full of tricks like this one that he does for his young patients to help them feel calm!
Google search for “peaceful man covered in bees plays the clarinet” yields more pics of peaceful clarinetists covered in bees than expected.

@normal-horoscopes
it’s a form of “telling the bees”, a type of folklore magic where it was considered just as important for beekeepers to ‘tell the bees’ of important life events such as births, deaths, pregnancies, marriages, etc, or else it was considered bad luck and incredibly rude
I KNOW ABOUT THE TELLING OF THE BEES YOURE SUPPOSED TO USE A BEE-TELLING HORN OR SLIP SOME PAPER IN THE NEST
THE WHOLE TRADITION IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR KEEPING THE BEES FROM LEAVING THEIR NEST

This unpopular opinion is timeless
Okay excuse the fuck out of you? I don’t care if it makes your blog or you look “edgy,” when your “unpopular opinion” destroys people’s lives you need to reevaluate the fuck out of it. I don’t care if it gets notes. I don’t care if it makes you and your piece of shit dudebro buddies laugh while you’re out to eat at fucking hooters. I don’t care if you follow it up with 8 dozen half-sincere hashtag-feminism posts to keep th mean tumblr gays out of ur inbox. There is no reason, NO REASON, to be voicing this bullshit in this day and age, ESPECIALLY not in a place where marginalized people come to have A MOMENT OF FUCKING PIECE IN THIS WORLD
Look, I know you’ve supported me in some tough times, and I appreciate that, and I respect it, but this shit can’t fly. You gotta be the bigger person here.
you are an asshole compostwitch
The fuck is happening
