You Can Learn a Lot From Bees
“Place yourself before a hive, and see the indefatigable energy of these industrious veterans, toiling along with their heavy burdens, side by side with their more youthful compeers, and then judge if, while qualified for useful labor, you ought ever to surrender yourself to slothful indulgence.” Lorenzo Langstroth

“There are certain pursuits that, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance.” Henry David Thoreau

“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, one clover, and a bee, and revery. The revery alone will do, if bees are few.”
Emily Dickinson

Keeping bees will raise your understanding of the natural world and the interrelatedness of all living things. In learning about the importance of honey bee pollination, you will realize how living things depend on other living things and that, while a few insects are pests, many are essential to our survival. Keeping honey bees with a young person is a fabulous way to teach them to be patient, gentle and good stewards of the natural world.
