Lessons from Bees:

Why do we need to know about Bees?

2) Prophet Muhammad SAW has mentioned "I swear by him who owns my soul ,that mu'min (believers) are like bees"

*****************
1) Bees eat only from pure flowers, goes for the best ones.

Lessons:
-Look for halal rizq.
-Look for best job etc.

2) Bees seats well in the flower. Hence, it gives alot more (pollen grains) before it takes its nectar.

Lesson for us:
-It is indicating our relationship with people etc. We should take in little and give people more. .

3) Bees does not deteriorate the flower while taking the nectar as it seats well .
-Imagine, Bees are heavy creatures compared to flowers.  If, it puts its entire weight, it can break the petals of the flowers. So, it keeps on hovering so that it doesn't put its entire weight on it.

Lesson for us:
-If, we have relationship but we keep on demanding, there will come a time when the people who love you, can break.
-Take it easy when you are expecting something from people.

Time to think:
-Whether I am putting too much pressure/asking from my employees, children,parents, friends etc.

If you want something from people
★Give people more
★And, then demand (but it should be minimum)
