In this sub-zero, record-breaking weather I am afraid my bees might freeze. So the other night before the thermometer plunged to -20 wind chill, I went to the bee yard with some blankets. I couldn’t cover the front because they need to get air, even though it’s so cold. 

I was alone and feared I’d not be able to secure them well. I prayed for “an extra pair of hands”. When I got to the farm, a son-in-law was just leaving. Although he had no hat or gloves he assisted me and left. When I reached the house, one of my sons had come out to see if I needed help. 

God answers over an above all we can ask or think. I’m anxious for a warm day to see if my bee babies have survived this brutal winter.
