Luce the Apriarist

The humble beekeeper of Farnham Monastary

[luce-the-apriarist]

It's always 'why do you always veil your face' 'why do you make screens for your face out of reeds' 'why is your hood so big' 'why are you wearing white' 'why have you stolen a Brother's incense burner'

It's never "your new reed screen looks so intricate and pretty" "you are the height of apiarist fashion" :(

your new reed screen looks so intricate and pretty!

These beeswax candles burn so brightly and smell so sweet, would you like these wildflower seeds to plant for your ladies?

[luce-the-apriarist]

Yes, they would adore them! it may keep them out of places they shouldn't be, like a brother's chambers, but i make no promises

I have arrived at Farnham Monastary and not one Brother has yet to question the buzzing in the baskets I carry... is this normal here? yet they have had no beekeeper before?? well, this is fine and I'm sure none shall poke the skeps full of bees with a stick :) all the brothers and sisters here will be perfectly respectful of the bees :)

[monkbrother-thomas]

dear new sister, we have stranger things occurring in our monastic space than buzzing from baskets

[theophilus-friendofgod]

hello little friends - go forth and pollinate our friends so that come spring I can harvest ten thousand turnip

[luce-the-apriarist]

thank you, thank you, brothers Thomas and Theophilus. i look forward to seeing what is stranger than buzzing in baskets and i will personally ensure you will have ten thousand turnip, AND ten thousand apple as well

While many insects are Godless, bees are not. Who do they dance for if not the Lord?

[luce-the-apriarist]

Bees, as we all know, are the most holy insect. they dance for the Lord, make wax for candles for the Lord, take extreme bloodthirsty murder of wasps for the Lord, cook intruders alive for the Lord, nap in the flowers- all for the Lord. there is much we can learn from them!
