Uktzin 3:11-12

Uktzin 3:11

[Honey is one of the liquids that renders food susceptible to impurity but honey in the hive is considered a food rather than a liquid. The Mishna asks:] When do honeycombs become susceptible to impurity on account of honey being considered a liquid? Beis Shammai say from the moment one starts to smoke out the bees, while Beis Hillel says once one breaks up the honeycomb.

Uktzin 3:12

Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said, in the Next World, Hashem will cause every righteous person to inherit 310 worlds, as per Proverbs 8:21, “That I may cause those who love Me to inherit yeish and I will fill their treasuries.” (The numerical value of the Hebrew word yeish is 310.) Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta said that Hashem found no vessel that could contain blessing for Israel other than peace, as per Psalms 29:11, “Hashem will give strength to His people; Hashem will bless His people with peace.”
