The modest, world changing worker bee

Think about it.

The bee - related to the hard-working, persistent ant - goes about doing its life's calling.

Diligently, splendidly, beautifully visiting flowers, bushes, trees and plants of all sorts looking for nectar. The food that makes it happy and can create an excellent elixir.

The honey bee returns to the queen bee and combs to generate its delicious delicacy.

So it gathers its food and travels to so many places - all the while completely unaware of the difference it makes in the world.

Without the bee pollinating plants everywhere, a task it is quite unaware it is completing, we wouldn't have the splendid foods we do that grow from flowering plants and trees.

There is a concern now because, for some reason, there are certain honey bee populations in the US and some parts of Europe disappearing, which affects the entire ecological cycle.

OTOH, Africanized bees, which were accidentally released in Brazil by biologist Warwick E. Kerr in 1957, are so aggressive they have been known to attack and even kill anything perceived as a hunter.

Despite its ill temper and bullying ways, it still pollinates. Changing the world in positive ways without being aware of it.

Do you know there are also sting-less bees?

Point is, it's amazing how we can affect and change the world, including everything and everyone around us, when we go about simply being truly ourselves, true to ourselves, doing what we were meant to do --constructively.

And how happy people are to sample the honey you create by just doing what you do in the way you were honestly intended to do it.

Namaste.
