The story
Why the honey bees laughed?
It was a cool morning, in a flower garden. The butterflies and honey bees were seen all around.
Suddenly an elderly honey bee was seen laughing, that too, uncontrollably. Soon all the honey bees gathered around the laughing bee, anxious to know why it laughed.
on an elderly butterfly came near the laughing bee and demanded to know what was there to laugh. It took a while before the bee stopped laughing and answered those gathered around. Slowly it regained composure and explained, why it laughed.
We live on honey that is gathered from the flowers. We work hard to gather and preserve them only to meet our needs for the rainy season.
The farmers who share the space with us, burn the wood to create smoke that chase us away from our own homes. Then, he steal the months long efforts of thousands of bees in a matter of minutes.
We are small and powerless before the mankind who systematically plunder our food reserves.
Man is able to reach our hives wherever and at which ever height we build our hives. We stand to be lo.osers, ultimately
Now the news goes that, a small number of people among them, called Industrialists, trading houses and people’s representatives do, exactly do what the farmers do to us.
But, the butterfly thought over it and replied as follows.
“It is true. But how does it help you”?
As specie, we are helpless against the atrocities of the farmers for stealing our hard work.
You may call us sadists, that is another matter. We enjoy those evil men are paid in their own coin by rich among them.
