Sunday, July 26 at 10:30 a.m. SECRET LIFE OF BEES, ANTS AND OTHER INTELLIGENT BEINGS - by Rev. Amy Kindred Call it what you will, intelligence or rote memory finely tuned by evolution, bees and ants are amazing critters. The language of bees expressed in a complicated dance lets others in the colony know where to find food. Ants have established an incredibly complex ventilation system that removes carbon dioxide from ant hills, or cities, and brings in fresh air. These little wizards have also figured out how to drain waste into special chambers were it is recycled. This morning we celebrate life lessons from wee ones that buzz and those that work relentlessly to survive. | |
