Orthodox celebrate Savior of the Honey Feast Day

Traditionally, beekeepers treat people with honey on this day, and festive services are held in churches. In Belarus, long-awaited fairs and festivals open. In our country, the production of honey is made by tens of thousands of beekeepers.

Fifty bites during summer are the norm for beekeepers. It is dangerous, when 200 bees attack a person. They do not tolerate fuss and extraneous smells, especially alcohol. Aggressiveness of bees depends on the breed: the most evil ones come from Africa (they are bred all around the world). Beekeepers Demkin created a bee pharmacy and a museum of bees. His collection presents the evolution of hives and hundreds of other exhibits.

In all religions of the world, the production of honey is God's work. Wax is made from candles. The basis of medicinal monastic infusions is bee products. A bee for believers is an example of diligence and collectivism. Honey is a sacred product that can be used even in fasting.

From now on, the Assumption fast begins for believers, this is one of the strictest fasts in the year.
