3000 Year Old Beehives found in Israel

I think this is an older story but I hadn't seen it.  Found it quite interesting.  Thought you may too...

When you visited Israel, your bus route from the Sea of Galillee to Jerusalem probably passed by it, or relatively near.
I've got another interesting archeological dig planned for your next visit---a place called Khirbet Quayafa, not far from where we visited together.  A fascinating and nicely preserved site from the time of King David.  Recently it has been in the news here, telling about a jug that was found and reconstructed, with an ancient inscritpion on in, mentioning a personality  referred to in the Bible.

Hey, tec, they found the hives we abandoned after the exodus. Didn't think we would ever find them again.   :o   ;D
