True to the traditional bee keeping practices, with a total respect for the bee community and being led by the hive’s daily rhythms you are being taught by its “perfect” society. You become one with nature, your own nature. You view the world around you as a whole. You study the sky, you feel the seasons, you follow the running water, you listen to all the sounds surrounding you. Nature talks to you if only your ears are willing to listen. You learn patience. Patience for a whole year for the end product of your labours, looking forward to that “perfect harvest”, if all goes well.

You don’t win or lose. What you get out of it is your reward for all your hard effort, your worries, your insight. For you found that absolutely best place and then kept on looking for a still better one. For you gave plentiful when it was needed, you joint their efforts. It’s a privilege, an honour to be taught by bees. They willingly teach you about nature, society about your own self.
