Lord God, Almighty,
who didst create heaven and earth,
and all the animals that live in the air
and on the earth for the use of man;
Thou who hast directed that
the ministers of Thy holy Church
should light candles made of beeswax
when the holy sacrifice is offered
in which the Sacred Body and Blood
of Jesus Christ, Thy Son,
becomes present and is consumed;
send down Thy blessing on these bees,
that they may multiply
and be fruitful
and be preserved from all harm
so that the product of their labour
may be used to Thy honour,
and to the honour of Thy Son,
and the Holy Spirit,
and the most blessed Virgin Mary.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
