Day 341: 12/8/13- St. Ambrose Feast Day- Bee TED Talk   
New Thing:  TED Talk on bees
Inspiration: St. Ambrose Day 
Time: A few mins.      
Bottom Line: Do the bees a favor- plant some flowers. 

Reflection: Today is St. Ambrose's Feast Day. Ambrose is the patron saint of bees and bee keepers. Here is part of his legend:

There is a legend that as an infant, a swarm of bees settled on his face while he lay in his cradle, leaving behind a drop of honey. His father considered this a sign of his future eloquence and honeyed tongue. For this reason, bees and beehives often appear in the saint's symbology. 

To honor his patronage, I watched the following TED talk which talks about the plight of bees. Plant flowers please!
