If you want to tackle big problems, try thinking like a bee!
So you've woken up and decided to take on that BIG problem, perhaps its helping homeless dogs or fighting climate change.
Yet as much as you'd like to act, you're stopped by some persistant piping doubts: where do I start? And even if I do something, will it really matter?
Maybe its time to look to the humble honeybee for inspiration.
Most of the the lifespan of a worker bee (6 weeks in summer) is spent gathering nectar to make honey.
A bee makes only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime - a tiny fraction of the many kilograms a colony needs to survive. The most remarkable thing isn't that she does the work but that she doesn't even do it for herself. A bee won't directly benefit from the honey she makes; instead it will allow future generations to survive after she is gone.
This too is how we can change the world - not by worrying about the size of our contributions but getting in and joining with others.
Keep making honey - Your 1/12th of a teaspoon counts!
