In this four-chapter fable, a once-thriving bee hive becomes obsessed with productivity and honey-making. At first, the bees work tirelessly, ignoring cleanliness and neglecting the young. As their honey stores grow, so does their stress and greed. The hive becomes cluttered, diseased, and broken — a symbol of ambition gone too far. When the bees finally pause to admire their wealth, they see only decay and emptiness. Realizing how their obsession has cost them joy, health, and purpose, they begin to change. Slowly, they rebuild — not with haste or hunger, but with care, balance, and gratitude. They learn that a happy hive isn’t built on greed or endless work, but on consistency, community, and taking time to truly live. By winter, the hive stands strong once more — clean, warm, and filled with both honey and harmony. Moral: True success isn’t measured by how much you make, but by how well you live.
