The Farrs have an enemy; his name is Satan. He really is out to get us, and the stakes are high. He uses his minions of lies, misinformation, innuendo, and confusion, along with our pride, jealousy, mistakes, and willful intents to distract us from Truth and to rob us of joy our Creator gives. This enemy hates it when we stand for Jesus.
Beekeepers have an enemy; its name is Varroa. This mite is a reddish-brown parasite about the size of the head of a pin. The mite’s full name is Varroa destructor, and it is the U. S. honeybee industry’s ENEMY NUMBER ONE. This enemy is winning its war with honeybees and beekeepers.
