Dependable. Authentic. Respectful. Engaging. Why Bees? Bees often symbolize focus, hard work, commitment, and success due to their natural behaviours. They emphasise the importance of teamwork. If you have ever watched bees at work, you will notice that they work together for the common good of the entire hive. The lesson from the bees is: when many people work together, with each person contributing, they can, together, accomplish something large.
