Yoon-

I enjoyed your posting on BEE-L
titled SISTERHOOD and printed out a copy
to pass around the office where I work.
(There has been some interest in bees there
since my five pound package of bees showed
up on my desk for my starter hive this spring.)

I found the following on a science fiction site
and am passing the link to you. More fantasy or
"fantastic reality" then science, but pro-bee
- a story about preservation (in contrast to
the typical killer bee story that focuses on
destruction). I think of it as a fable
(ala ESOP), an allegory about the quest we are
all on. It fits Picasso's definition:
Art is a lie that makes us see the truth.
