Anna and I take time on the week ends to watch the bees hovering over the flowers and move from one flower to the other for sector. They are found early in the morning usually! This is a regular sight in the garden. Daffney playfully would chase them. She is yet to be stung!
What is intriguing about the bees is their ability to locate the flowers. They sense the flowers by sight and scent. These are natural associations we see in the creation. The bee gathers honey and the flower gets pollinated.
While talking to a colleague, I realised that only about thirty percent children in the state where I live get the benefit of dedicated parenting attention from their parents. The rest of the children grow up with grandparents, or with one parent while the other parent works overseas, or with domestic helpers or with child care support.
The natural patterns are fast disappearing!
Bees would lose their character when there is no flowers or honey! Don't children loose their character when children receive only substitute parenting! Now the government of India offers opportunities for mothers to take one year or more period of absence from work to be available for the children!
What children need for their formation is responsible parenting!
