Startling New Evidence

[Moksha]

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:

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.

How odd! Just . . . odd!

Sorry, 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.

I'm totally lost.

Whats up with the soup can?

I didn't even notice the soup can. Now I'm totally lost.

I still think it's odd. 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.

Is she the Queen Bee?

This whole thing is just bizarre... but whatevah!

If not Mr. Olbermann, then perhaps Carl Jung? 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?

LOL

No, I'm saying a Native American costume in Israel is Weird! Period!

How you do go on Moksha!

Weird or not, I consider honey to be very kosher, especially drizzled on Native American matzos.

Oy Kimosabe!

I still want someone to explain the soup can to me!!

It drives me nuts every time I look at that pic.

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.

So let me get this straight. You're saying he brought actual Lamanite bees over, costumes, feathers and all?

I 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.

huh?

I'm just taking it as some stupid ad that S&W did that would cause people to think it would have a much deeper meaning. People would then post it on a thread in a forum for all to question what that deeper meaning is.
