Moksha Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Recently there was a discovery of bees in ancient Israel. I think I have unearthed startling new evidence placing not only Lamanite Bees in the new world, but tracing the route on their transoceanic voyage through their own visual recollection.See for yourself: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Of course, Baffin Island in Canada (where the little bee is pointing) may be the final resting place for the Giant Tapir Horses and their horde of rusting iron swords, chariots and other shiny trinkets.

Moksha Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 How odd! Just . . . odd!ElphabaSorry, having a free flow of consciousness moment. The Giant Tapir Horses (Megatherium Tapirnephitus) are the postulated creatures that may have indeed served as the horses described within the Book of Mormon. The Ancient Israel Bee was in the news recently. Just filling in the backstory. Truly odd would be finding that these Tapir Horses could not only sing opera but had made a recording with Andrea Bocelli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dressing up a bee in a child's Native American costume, feather and all, in Israel? I think Keith Olbermann would be interested in that one.Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, are you suggesting that such a costume worn by a bee is in anyway indicative of a failure to work well within the hive, and as such represented a curse that over time might be overcome with the production of a pure and delightsome honey?

Josie Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Maybe I have missed something, but I don't understand why the discovery of ancient bees in Israel is so startling? Ex. 3: 8 (D&C 38: 18) land flowing with milk and honey. Ex. 16: 31 taste of it was like wafers made with honey. Lev. 2: 11 ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey. Judg. 14: 8 bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. Ps. 19: 10 sweeter also than honey. Prov. 24: 13 eat thou honey, because it is good. Prov. 25: 16 Hast thou found honey? Eat so much as is sufficient. Isa. 7: 15 (2 Ne. 17: 15) Butter and honey shall he eat. Matt. 3: 4 (Mark 1: 6) his meat was locusts and wild honey. I do not understand why that would surprise anyone? Would we not expect the Nephites to bring honey with them to eat and maybe even bees to make the honey once they got here. The Lord always encourages to take provisions with us when He is instructing us to make a big move like they did. I am sure He also encouraged the Jaredites to do the same.

ElphieI suspect the kind Nephites or the good Lamanites helped sew the costumes since the bees themselves were too busy making honey. Division of labor and all that. Anyway, they gave us the Beehive as a symbol.Perhaps the feather was from a humming bird. However, silver and turquoise jewelry is much too heavy for bees.

People would then post it on a thread in a forum for all to question what that deeper meaning is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
