Rules of life from the Bees

Life's lessons are the same everywhere - with people, with nature...with the bees. And since there is one law - you can learn life's most profound lessons from some of nature's creations.

I guess I realized this just now...but I sensed it when I watched The Secret Life Of Bees. In one part where August Boatwright is explaining to Lily the Bee Yard etiquette, she says -

See, the world is just one big bee yard...same rules work in both places. Don't be afraid, cause no life-loving bee wants to sting you. But, don't be an idiot, thats why we wear long sleeves and long pants. And don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.

And May Boatwright talks about people who feel and people who don't feel. She says -

The worker bee weighs less than the flower petal...but she can fly with a load heavier than her. But she only lives four or five weeks. Sometimes not feeling is the only way you can survive.

The most interesting character was May Boatwright. She feels too much. But was most profound sometimes. Whenever she saw a cockroach, she'd make a trail of marshmallows and bread crumbs leading outside...which is the coolest way to get a roach out of the house!!
