George Washington ate hoecakes with honey almost every day for breakfast, but where did he get the honey? The only mention of Washington's bees comes from an entry on July 28, 1787, which states three hundred nails were given out at the Circle Storehouse to an indentured English joiner named Matthew Baldridge, “to make a bee house.” Lincoln, too, was reportedly "very fond of honey." The quote "If you want to gather honey, don't kick over the beehive" is often (possibly erroneously) attributed to Lincoln.
🍯Happy Presidents' Day!🇺🇸

St. Valentine protector of Lovers &
🐝 Protector of Beekeepers 🐝

This isn’t your typical Valentine’s Day post —
but there’s a beautiful connection between bees, honey, and St. Valentine.

Long before hearts and chocolates, St. Valentine was associated with care, devotion, and protection. He is widely recognized as the patron saint of beekeepers, believed to watch over both the sweetness of honey and those who lovingly tend the hives.

For centuries, bees have symbolized love and devotion:
• Cupid dipped his arrows in honey to sweeten hearts
• Ancient Egyptians believed bees were the tears of the sun god Ra
• Bees were seen as messengers between the divine and humankind

Even the word “honeymoon” comes from honey — a symbol of sweetness, abundance, and the early days of love.

When you look at it this way, it makes perfect sense:
the patron saint of love is also the protector of beekeepers — guardians of one of love’s oldest symbols.

Gentle care. Steady protection. Quiet devotion.
Just like life in the hive.

Wishing all our bee friends a peaceful, bee-utiful Valentine’s Day —
may your hives be calm and your hearts full. 🐝💛
