"For the bee, honey is the ultimate reality. It represents the fulfillment of her life mission, the triumph over her enemies, the continuity of the hive, the justification for working herself to death. Honey is to bees what money in the bank is to people—a measure of prosperity and well-being. But there is nothing abstract or symbolic about honey, as there is about money, which has no intrinsic value. There is more real wealth in a pound of honey, or a load of manure for that matter, than all the currency in the world. We often destroy the world's real wealth to create an illusion of wealth, confusing symbol and substance."—Wm. Longgood, The Queen Must Die

Hi, I found you because you left a comment at The Beekeeper's Journal at NYTimes.com. But, I really had to work at it because you made a small error in the URL you put into your comment. At the end of your URL, you added a period -- com./ -- so it doesn't correctly go to this blog. You might want to add another comment to correct that. Great blog name, BTW.
Oh, what a wonderful sequence! Love the Archie cover! LOL!
