Bees all over the World!

The Mesa South Stake had great participation in the World Wide Indexing Event.  Evidently we are not the only Honey Bees in the World!

"If you spent part of your weekend participating in the worldwide indexing event, you were in good company. The event far surpassed its goal of 72,000 participants around the globe; a total of 116,475 individuals worked to make the world’s historical records available to those doing their family history work. These individuals indexed 10,447,887 records to add to the treasure trove of information available to family history researchers."  Family Search Indexing Blog

Indexing in the Mesa South Stake 

Solomon Ward completed the most records during the month of June.  Good Job!

We are significantly lower on the total number of records completed as to where we should be to accomplish the goal of 2 million records in the year.

We had a total of 84 active Honey Bees during the month of June

So what is the difference between a 'June Bug' and a Honey Bee?

The June Bug belongs to the Phyliophaga genus of Beetles

Can you see the difference between the June Bug above and the Honey Bee below? 

 One stings and the other one doesn't.

What does this have to do with Indexing in the Mesa South Stake?

(not much)

We are not June bugs who only index a few months out of the year and then go into hibernation.

We are Honey Bees!  We gather nectar every month!

A big thank you to all those who indexed this month.

Ruth Haws of the Lazona Ward

Our highlight for the month is Ruth Haws from the Lazona Ward. 

Ruth indexes every day of the year, rain or shine.  She has a wonderful testimony of indexing---how it blesses the lives of others as it blesses her own life because of the feeling she gets knowing she is contributing in a positive way to a great work.

Listen to her testimony here.  CLICK HERE

Ruth has a 93% accuracy ratio and indexes Spanish records on a regular basis.

She has been indexing since the 1970's!  Things have really changed since then.

April 2016 Indexing Report: How many honey bees in a hive?

I tried to count the bees in my hive, but I only got to 3.  They all kept moving and look alike.

It is a lot easier to count the number of Honey Bees in the Mesa South Stake.  Our goal is to have 200 active Honey Bees per month in the Mesa South Stake.  Last month we had 97 Honey Bees.

What does it take to become a Mesa South Stake Honey Bee?

Ans:  Index at least one batch per month.  Every little bit of nectar helps!

Which ward indexed the most records in the month?

The wonderful work accomplished by the Mesa South Stake Honey Bees is greatly appreciated!
