August tells Lily that, “‘every bee has its role to play’” (Kidd 148). As August says, bees have their own social structure, with different types of bees doing various tasks, that allow the hive to function properly. If all of the bees are not doing their respective jobs, production can slow to a halt. All the people in the Boatwright household are similar to different types of bees.
Many people think bees live a vague life compared to humans. However, Albert Einstein once said “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” This quote illustrates how bees and humans live a similar life, each having their own set of tasks to accomplish. In the novel The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd uses bees as a metaphor for Lily’s life.
In the intercalary chapter number 25, Steinbeck shows the decay of morals and also physical decay in the chapter. He contrasts land that is used naturally for its nutrients, and land used, or in Steinbeck’s eyes, wasted for profits. The chapter has some apocalyptic overtones throughout. Steinbeck uses vivid imagery and harsh statements to convey his message. The chapter seems to show how there are consequences for interrupting the lands life force to line ones pockets.

Although she is sitting, she brings life to the words as if she was running around the stage. As Bees in Honey Drown is a play by Douglas Carter Beane, first preformed in 1997.
Chapter 19 describes a scenario that the most critical time on earth is the current opportunity and the period between 1966 and 1973 serves as the time of the narration. The story teaches human beings that no one would be certain what happens in their lives tomorrow. Enjoyment of the life and opportunity that one has currently would be the highest honour one would do to self (Kittay). The scenario that ensued in the presence of Deborah after she conceived and when she got the child would serve as a practical example of the above assertion. Baby Joe underwent tribulations despite having parental attention.

Events such as the human hive collapsing are foreshadowed when August tells Lily, “Well, if you have a queen and a group of independent-minded bees that split off from the rest of the hive and look for another place to live, then you’ve got a swarm” (Kidd 93). The independent-minded bee is May, when she goes off and drowns herself, she tries to find a better place to live. As a result, the house erupts into tears, anger, and depression.

One could look at a bee hive as a single living entity (otherwise known as a Superorganism).They ingest and digest food,regulate water control and achieve locomotion as well as many other things that humans do to stay alive. This is were the similarities stop. Bees are raised for certain jobs that are never changed. Queens lay eggs,Drones mate with queens,and workers well….. They work.
“Beekeepers across the United States lost 44 percent of their honey bee colonies during the year spanning from April 2015 to April 2016” (“Nation’s Beekeepers lost 44 percent of bees in 2015-2016”). Many famers today plant their cops in sections farther apart depending on the plant. When the bees go to collect nectar they cannot get as much food without getting tired. This has had an effect on bees because they die faster from having to fly so far. Many beekeepers think that this reason causes bees to fade away.
Hazel Sillver says, “Honey bees are declining in population and may be facing extinction. This is bad not just for the bees, but also for humans, who rely on bees to pollinate many plants and important agricultural crops.” Without bees, crops cannot be pollinated, which stunts growth and can cause the crop to be uneatable or it could be left with very low nutrients. Later, Hazel Sillver states, “The bee is vital…. It pollinates
