Bee Kingdom

⏺A strange democratic society.
⏺A women's community admired.
⏺ On his head is a queen who rules but does not rule.
⏺There are few males...and they are poor and humiliated!

It's strange how people look at things. They may look at the same thing, but from several angles. The angles are different, so the views are different. Bees are one thing like some things.

- Bees for the common man

For the average man, the first thing that comes to mind is honey. He may salivate when he mentions it, especially if it has been a long time since his last meal.

- Bees at the manufacturer

The bees remind him of the maker, so the first thing that comes to his mind is beeswax. He believes that lipstick, face paint, and other decorative materials are made from it. And candles in mosques and churches are made from it. It is used to make graphite discs, polishing greases, and their emulsions.

- Bees at the farmer

Bees are a reminder to the farmer, so the first thing that comes to his mind is the impact of bees on increasing his fruit. This is because the bees move between the flowers, taking the male pollen to fertilize it with the female flower. Orchard growers, and fruit orchards in particular, know this well. If it were not for this pollination, the fruit yield of apples, pears, peaches, and plums would be reduced. In knowledgeable countries, gardeners rent these beehives, from specialized beekeepers, so that their bees carry out this pollination in their orchards. The result is that the fruits will produce two or three times larger than if they left the pollination of their flowers to the passing insects and the wind.

- Bees according to the sociologist

Bees remind him of the social world or the political professional, so the first thing that comes to his mind is that bees have one of the most amazing societies... there is no dispute or disagreement. Its members work for the good of society. Society works for the good of its members. He knew all his duties, and he carried them out silently, neither complaining nor faltering. He takes all his food wages from the public treasury, neither more nor less. And the work varied, so varied its duties. And the work of bees is present
The cell. The work of bees for their future. The rule in the bee community is strict. There is no doubt about this. It is the rule of the absolute individual. But there is no cruelty in it, because the wills in it do not clash.

To explain all this, we enter a group of bees
Let's see all this.

(In the middle is the male bee, with a large body, and there are hundreds of them in the hive. To the right is the queen with a drawn figure. She rules the hive and lays the eggs (marked with a blue dot). And to the left is the worker bee.
She is a sterile female. Including thousands. It does almost all of the work of the cell.
