There is a fine line between protection and imprisonment. I like the contrast you draw between the bee's life and ours.
I was outside today and I saw some bumble bees feasting on sweet nectar, buzzing from flower to flower and I couldn't help but think we humans have lost some of the nectar of life.
Nice write!

Bees are such an integral part of the natural world. We should pay more attention.
So much we could learn from bees!
