Consider the Bee...humans need to be more like them in order to survive as a species - we are each other's anchor...dont let parents of vulnerable children with disabilities struggle alone - they need support and they need an anchor to cope with all the stresses not only of raising their child but protecting them from harm and exploitation even by providers.  Without cctv cameras there is no protection at all at this present time.

     I was at a coffee shop recently and sat down to do some writing and as I did I felt a sharp pain on my leg I jumped up and said ‘something bit me’ to the coffee people…. I ran off to check my leg in the bathroom and found a lump maybe an ant or something? I went back to my seat still in stinging pain and saw a broken bee on the window sill I must have sat on him and then it had dragged itself and broken body up to the sill, another bee hovered next to it and wouldnt leave flying above the injured bee…I wondered why the other bee was there (now looking back I realize he was trying to help the injured bee)
That’s what bit me I said to the shop people and now he's dying…but there's another bee sticking around…do bees help each other I asked them? Are they intelligent ? The shop keeper quickly got rid of the injured bee… we smiled at each other not knowing the answers…
Now looking at it I think the other Bee was trying to help his friend who had been injured…too bad humans do not do the same… if someone is hurt or injured why aren’t we helping them why do we just leave them to suffer?
From an evolutionary perspective a species will not survive unless it helps itself…unless the species help each other…consider the Bee
I since found out that bees do help each other…noting that bees work together to bridge gaps and if they cannot cross a gap, they make a bridge by linking their legs together and walking across their own living bridge which I find incredible.
They also keep each other warm when it is cold by huddling together and if they are hot, they fan each other to cool down.
If they find food they share it with each other, and apparently when they find food they let each other know and come back to the hive and do a dance which lets the others know they have found food and how far away it is, and if there is a problem they sound an alarm. This is called the ‘waggle dance’. How cute is that? Ohhh…so beautiful
‘They keep in constant communication with each other and work as a group.’ (Starre Varan 2018)
With humans we find in groups, the power games to control other humans, to hoard for self, to only help self and to gain from using each other. I have found to be true more so in Australia than in New Zealand but they are catching up never mind.
Only humans suicide apart from the lemmings maybe this occurs due to lack of care of those who need help….it is not always mental illness at all, not an illness but a reaction to stress and lack of support has been found in most suicide studies as the most common cause. Or social pressure for ‘success’ which is becoming now more unattainable as jobs are stopped by the lock downs in the pandemic. Humans need to realize what is more important than their riches and attainments.
Most species try to survive by looking after each other and helping each other to live. In the bees case they look after their sick and look after baby bees for each other they also groom and wash each other with a high attention to hygiene so that they will not get sick from mites.
Some bees are nurse bees that feed the young and look after sick bees which they only do as the one job, the caring for the sick, for the rest of their lives so that no other bees are contaminated, other bees however may change their jobs. So Cool.
NB “like humans bees are incredibly social creatures who will protect the ones they love and will work together for common goals” (Starre Varan 2018 Treehugger -sustainability for all)
Isnt that what we all want as humans and parents – to protect the ones we love? Our hearts are broken when we cannot protect those we love especially our own children if we cannot protect them we are distraught, we are traumatized and broken when they are harmed or die. WE blame ourselves when they get hurt by those who we trusted to care for them. Other parents blame us when we are trying to do our best for our child instead of giving help and support or advice when needed. Parents attack other parents. When they could have helped each other through the hard times or crises. This is wrong. We need to help each other protect our children, and vulnerable adult disability children and to stand in that common goal against those who would let this harm occur. Capitalism makes people selfish.
They turn away from each other to follow their pursuit of riches and ‘happiness’ not realizing that when crises come you need each other, you need relationships that hold you like an anchor in the storm… It’s all about survival…
We need to stand together against the corruption and exploitation of our children by disability providers.
We need the cameras to protect our disabilities vulnerable and nonverbal children, and adults, so that the law system can punish the perpetrators in order for justice and right to be done for our young. Without that protection, parents face a life of distress knowing their child can never be fully protected from harm - the most vulnerable in society. This must change we must make our children protected.
Mothers of disability children have suicided and taken their children with them when they cannot face a life anymore of the stress and think there is no way out, that no one cares or will protect their child from harm…and that they cannot even protect their child. They think they are better off that way since their child will be abused anyway especially if they are not there to protect them. Recently a mother in Australia tried to kill herself and her son but they survived…she wishes now that she didn’t do that but the sheer tiredness with a child that wakes all night and has seizures, she was getting older and tired, and lack of support or seeing any future where her son would be safe and looked after made her give up and feel helplessness and despair leading to her actions. No one should be left alone to feel like this. We all need an anchor no matter who we are or how strong we believe we are we all need help from one another and should not withhold that.
To actually care about each other is a very simple principle, but also a very unselfish one. Selfishness might make you rich but many rich persons including Liz Hurley’s ex boyfriend, Steve Bing, and father of her child, jumped off buildings during the pandemic due to not being able to handle being so isolated and the depression of feeling no one cares.
Consider the bee a clever little creature and smart…if you look after others there will be benefits for you…its in their DNA - how they look after each other all their lives using their intelligence to help each other survive the perils of everyday life. We humans need to be more like them and follow that example of care, help and sharing resources not hoarding for self, because self needs others in the end will not survive on its own….we all need an anchor in the storms of life.
All the best
