It is the honey bee’s culture to travel every day and reach places where flowers are available for it. The bee extracts nectar from the flower and returns to its abode. It does not care about anything else.

Where there are flowers, there are also other things like thorns; but the honey bee simply ignores the presence of thorns and does not waste its time complaining about them. It simply extracts the nectar from the flower and returns.

This behaviour of the honey bee is a symbolic lesson to man—'Live like a honey bee'. Extract what is good for you and leave what is unwanted. Do not waste your time in complaints and protests.
