Baltic Methodist Theological Seminary

"The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are reliable and altogether righteous. They are more desirable than gold - than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey - than honey dripping from the comb." Psalm 19: 9-10, HCSB

Something's-a-buzzin' on the Seminary rooftop 🐝🐝🐝

Our alumnus- and now resident beekeeper- Jarl Šapovalov has set up a number of beehives on our roof. Thanks to him we can now offer guests our own honey flavoured with the blooms from the neighbouring Kadriorg park 🌱🍯

What you may not know is that city honey is often cleaner than country honey! This is because of the far smaller quantities of pesticides used in cities compared to farmland that bees have a hard time filtering out of the honey.

Our first batch was collected in June and sampled by our Board of Trustees and EMC partners 🤝 Thanks to Jim Davis from the Board for being our model 😃

The colourful design on the jars was created by our other talented alumnus Ain Vares 🎨
We're truly blessed to have such awesome alumni! Thank you both! ❤️🙌
