5 January 2016 - honey, I’m home

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Do you hear that buzzing? That’s the sound of hundreds of bees returning to the hive and saying “Honey, I’m home!” And what do we humans do? We are the ultimate cheaters; we have already taken the sweet honey for ourselves. Other creatures steal a pinch or brutally rape the hive; only humans have a refined system of oppression and exploitation. But no complaints. We treat bees as well as we treat ourselves.
