Honey saved

From the first day of August (August 14, new style), they usually began to break the first honey, since from that day the bees stopped bringing it. Both the very process of collecting honey and the personality of the beekeeper were emphasized. It was believed that if any beekeeper hides even a drop behind his cheek, then he will be comprehended by God's immediate punishment. After all, according to tradition, all the honey should have been taken to the church and consecrated. But the laconic honey collector, who followed all the rules, doing his job with prayers, was considered a true Christian and a respected worker.
