Music to Bee By
"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

Thanks! These are great, and I've shared this page on FB and Twitter.
Thanks, Eva! I was blown away by Food, Inc. Just finished Pollen's nicely done, highly condensed "Food Rules" book, too, and found it very complementary to the messages of Food, Inc. Recommend that one highly.
