A Life With Value


http://www.theworldinlight.com/

Historically, the study of a hive of honey bees has been used as a model for human society.  I believe the early American Indians understood this interdependence ... each member knew what he contributed for the community tribe to survive.  I do not always know this ... our country is vast, we are taught to be independent and with an almost schizophrenic offering of choices, it is easy to forget that what I do can mutually support those people in my group.  I cannot imagine a bee considering where it fits in or wondering about the value of a job.

In this photo, a honey bee has collected pollen and transferred it to the hind legs.  A single hair functions as a pin that secures the middle of the pollen load.
