To bee, or not to bee
Our life is full of predictable and unpredictable actions
and activities. That is one thing that makes it interesting. For me, for you
and everyone for that matter.
I have been fascinated by a beehive in my balcony that
has developed into a beautiful one in
size and population.
As the number of bees started growing, we took more caution
to leave them alone. What will happen if by chance, the hive was disturbed!
My interest in nature held me from taking any action to
remove the hive. I kept on observing them, their lifestyle and routine. With
still and video photography, I kept on recording their activities from morning
till night.
At one point, it was sure that the hive had to be removed. I
was feeling sad till the last minute, as we had to remove it completely from
our area.
The action known to us was unknown to the creatures. It gave
me an opportunity to think about various natural calamities that happen
suddenly without any notice to mankind.
At times, however equipped we are, we are helpless in front
of nature and its fury or even any other destructive force that is on us. There
is a lot to think about this and am leaving it to your imagination.
