Honeybees got it right...

The number of bees in my hive have tripled at this point, so I've added a second super (honey box) and have been feeding them powdered sugar and peppermint syrup (apparently to ward off some mite that kills them). They are, quite simply, thriving. But I would be too if I had such a uniformly organized life.

Think about it: each bee has a purpose. It wakes up, does its thing, then dies. It lives off of one of the purest foods on earth and spends its days in beautiful parts of the world hopping from flower to flower.

There are parts of my life that I would miss, but the simplicity of a bee? Sometimes I think that would be kind of nice.
