This topic is for posting updates to the ForTheBee section of my website where I post unaffiliated study materials to help study for Bible Bee local and national competitions, including prompterizors, first five words, and more.

FYI - ForTheBee is not affiliated with Bible Bee, nor endorsed by them. This is an independent place for the uploading of my created study helps, and contains no copyrighted Bible Bee materials.

For The Bee is back in business for 2015! Some study resources have already been added for this year.

Several changes have been made to For The Bee so you can get the most out of For The Bee:

  • Updated layout.
    Recently updated layout reduces clutter and makes For The Bee easier to navigate.

  • Subscribe for For The Bee notifications.
    You can now subscribe to my website and get notified whenever a new study resource is added to For The Bee. (+http://zachbaas.com/subscribe+)

  • Submit your own study resouces.
    If you have created a practice test, a prompt sheet, a first five words doc or any other helpful study help, submit it to For The Bee so other Bible Bee-ers can benefit from it too. (+http://zachbaas.com/forthebee/add+)

Many Bible Bee-ers utilized For The Bee last year, and I hope that these changes will make For The Bee even more helpful with Bible Bee studying for you. You can visit For The Bee at +http://zachbaas.com/forthebee+

Just for the record, For The Bee is not in any way endorsed nor a part of Bible Bee. For The Bee does not post any Bible Bee study materials copyrighted by Bible Bee.

God bless,

Summaries on National Passages
The first resource for studying for the 2015 national competition is on For The Bee! A set summarizing all the Senior nationals passages is starting to come together! Since Seniors have all the Primary and Junior passages and more, just star the ones for your age divison to study if you aren't a Senior. Studying summaries of the memory passages is helpful to help you quickly know a passage on the test and because like I say, every local memory passage is a cross reference. All of the pre-release passages are entered in here and the remaining ones will be added after they are released.

It's working fine for me. What OS/browser are you using, or are you on a mobile device? It should work for all devices and I haven't had anyone else have issues.

Ok I just checked it on IE. It is indeed a bug - one of those modern code issues that old fashioned IE doesn't support. I'll have to work on that. Do you have Chrome or Firefox that you could use it on?

EDIT: I changed something in the code and it works on my end. Is it working for you now?

It doesn't erase it out of the textbox, but I can't highlight it to copy it. I'll see if it works on Chrome.

EDIT: It works on Chrome, just not IE.

It's just one of those problems Internet Explorer has because it's a never updated browser that doesn't support many of the modern coding things.

Never updated... what do you mean? We've had to upgrade our version of IE several times since we got our computer...

Updates, yes, but not updates for supporting modern code. The new Microsoft browser, Edge, that comes with Windows 10 should be a lot better.


EDIT: Problem is now fixed!
