WHAT THE BEE TEACHES US

MAETERLINK says that a single bee lacks the necessary intelligence to make honey; but that a hive of bees develops a high order of intelligence.

It is only when they work together that bees are productive. If all the bees in the hive were separated and forced to live alone they would make no honey, not even to sustain life. Through lack of individual intelligence they would die of starvation.

A hive of bees has a well-defined purpose, toward which each must work or suffer the consequences. If, for example, a bee bringing honey back to the hive eats it instead of storing it for the general good, the other bees sting it to death.

One bee alone has no purpose, no plans, no intelligence. In short, a bee separated from its fellow bees is absolutely helpless, absolutely useless.
