Discover And Learn Life Lessons From The Tiny Bees
The beauty of life is that it gives you invaluable lessons to learn and grow even through 
the most seemingly banal occurrences. The apple that fell from the tree made Sir Isaac 
Newton realize the concept of gravity,
Buddha became The Enlightened One as he sat under a tree and there was that great king, who 
was defeated in the war but learnt never to give up from a spider trying to climb up the wall. The 
king went on to win his next battle and so can you; many battles you face in your day-to-day 
lives if you pay attention to small things that make a huge difference.
Tiny bees go on about their jobs with single minded dedication and skills that any management 
guru will be proud to imbibe in his pupils. But why pay big bucks for this master class when you 
can learn lessons of life and business from bees themselves. Here are 10 life lessons from bees 
that we must know :
Lesson # 1 : Excellent Communicators 
Bees are excellent communicators and always stay in touch with their hives when they go out looking 
for food. They keep the entire group in the loop; any vital tips like where vast amounts of pollen can 
be found are relayed to other members. Every business and personal relationship can benefit from 
such effective communication where there no secrets kept.
Lesson # 2 : Quick Learners 
Bees are quick learners and use their natural surroundings to know what they can extract the most out 
of. Bees are observant in choosing the kind of flowers that give them good rewards but can as easily 
discard them in adverse weather conditions when they are of no use to them.
Lesson # 3 : Team Players 
Bees are team players as they work for each other. They work together in large groups; if an individual 
or a part of the group fails, other members make up of for it. That’s why productivity never suffers. Now 
which team leader won’t want to see that in his/her team?
Lesson # 4 : Stick to Tasks Assigned 
Bees stick to tasks assigned to them and complete them to the best of their abilities. There is a defined 
hierarchy; male bees mate, house bees build hives etc. Bees assume roles given to them without a 
grouse and fulfill them with aplomb. After all, every task is important.
Lesson # 5 : Multi Utility Products 
Bees make multi utility products; besides honey that has its numerous uses, their wax is used in 
cosmetics, their hives are architects’ inspiration. As a business your goal should be to create 
products or services that have relevance in many fields.
Lesson # 6 : Highly Adaptable 
They are highly adaptable to drastic changes in their surroundings and can get back to their jobs 
instantly. Only if we learned to be so adaptable to change.
Lesson # 7 : Ever-Evolving 
Bees are ever-evolving. There have been natural disasters and climate changes, but bees have 
kept on growing, evolving and working.
Lesson # 8 : Experience Counts 
For bees, experience counts. Young bees aren’t sent out hunting for food, just like young interns 
should not be making important business calls from the onset.
Lesson # 9 : Strong Leader 
Bees have a strong leader in their Queen. Her mere presence helps them function brilliantly, while 
they are in disarray in the absence of the Queen. Every business and team needs a strong leader.
Lesson # 10 : Strong Sense of Responsibility 
Bees are known to have a strong sense of responsibility. This is difficult to imbibe in your team because it 
cannot be forced but has to be cleverly inculcated. Bees naturally have a strong work ethic; in fact they 
thrive on their work.
Bees offer many such precious lessons, so don’t bee-little them but watch and learn. We 
should keep improving our personal ability or quality required to meet the demand of 
personal ambition and for success. I believe YOU can do!!!
Thank You Very Much
