Why are we so scared of bees? Is it because they might maybe sting us? Is it their fault that they were born with stingers on their behinds so that they might never have a human friend. From my understanding of it, the common bee, when it stings something, sacrifices itself in the process. Acknowledging that fact, I would feel very grateful for a bee to sting me and share it’s poison and final act of life with me so personally. Of course that may be viewed a little extreme and don’t confuse me for a Jain, but whose to say a bee is any less special than a human or any other living thing. We pride ourselves for being able to push around piles of dirt. If a bee is found inside any establishment we resort to killing the bee on the spot with the bottoms of our shoes. This is to say that the bees are segregated from any establishment and if found inside one, they are to be executed on sight. This reaction is not by any law of the land but as a understood president of our society. While bees and (the interiors of) buildings agreeable don’t co-exists nicely (with average humans inside), maybe a roof over our head and a carpet to our feet is not ideal. Maybe better to use natural sun light and save the power of running lights for hours on end. Maybe connect our bare feet to the earth as for creative thinking to revive our minds and be with us through out the day. Maybe reconsider segregating nature from our daily practices. Maybe kill a bee next time with respect for it’s life and product of honey which is one of the most noble foods of our earth.
