What lessons can we learn from bees…?

What lessons can we learn from bees? The
answers to lifes most complex questions often
lie with Mother Nature. There was once a family
of bees who belonged to the Apple orchard clan,
whose role was to pollinate the apple trees and
produce honey from their nectar. Unfortunately,
this orchard was not doing very well. Pollination
was at an all-time low, as was the honey
production, and the farmer was seriously
considering getting rid of the beehive and
re-planting the orchard with new trees. By
contrast, the Pear orchard on the same farm was
doing extremely well, thriving with fruits and
pear honey. One year prior, a bee from the Apple
orchard maliciously picked a fight with a bee
from the Pear orchard. The Apple bee stung the
Pear bee numerous times, planting several sharp
barbs (spikes) in its back, causing extreme pain
to its poor neighbour. Remarkably, the Pear bee
did not fight back, nor stick any barbs into the
Apple bee. Now, a year later, the two bees faced
each other once again. The Apple bee was very
envious of the Pear bees, who thrived in
abundance. How is it that your clan produces so
much fruit and honey while we shrivel each day?
It is not fair! You are all a bunch of cowards
because you did not dare sting me back during
our duel, which I clearly won that day. The
Pear bee replied, You stuck numerous painful
spikes in my back, but when I returned to my
hive, my friends and I removed each one of them,
leaving no part of you, nor your cruelty, in my
being. As each spike came off, I forgave you, as
did my clan, until we had forgiven and detached
from you completely, leaving us at peace to
enjoy the nectar of the pear flowers, pollinate
the orchard, and produce the best yields of fruit
and honey for the farmer. By the way, I did not
sting you back nor stick more barbs in you that
day, because your back was already full of them,
from other Apple bees. You
2
all live with spikes in your backs, constantly
consumed with anger and pain. How could you
possibly pollinate your orchard or enjoy its
nectar? You have not learned to forgive, and
therefore, your world continues to shrivel each
day. I suggest that when you return to your hive,
remove all the spikes off each others backs and
forgive freely, so you can rid yourselves of hurt
and anger, and get back to enjoying your lives
in this beautiful apple orchard. There is still
hope that you and your trees can be saved My
dear friends, forgiveness is a genuine power we
can all harness to gain freedom, happiness and
detachment from our pains and sorrows. Lets
consider practicing the advice of the Pear bees
today for renewed health, happiness, abundance
and peace ?Amyn Dahya Have a blessed week
ahead my dear friends, filled with good health,
happiness, and protection from all harm.
