The 5♣️ with its image of the thriving bee hive is here to remind us that we are better when we are together.
Throughout human history, cooperation and prosocial behaviour have been essential to survival. However, many changes came with the advent of the industrial revolution. We have moved from interdependent communities with a rooted sense of place to a more disconnected society of individuals.
What would happen if we become more like the bees again?
What if we were to play, create, make, imagine, wonder and work together more, what sweet honey might we make?
Did you know that bees communicate by dancing?
By dancing together, the bees tune into each other, become a collective, working in harmony and with a collective intelligence. Just as each little bee's contribution is essential for the hive's success. We humans too can achieve remarkable feats if we recognise and value the diverse talents and perspectives each individual brings to a collective endeavour.
So the ♣️ are here to help us find our dance as one big human family.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much ”
