THE COLONY

This colony built its nest on a branch of the manggo tree in front of my friend's house.

While I am amazed by the architecture of the nest, people in the neighborhood are worry of its presence. They are afraid of these wonderful creatures because the bees have poisonous stings.

We human beings are also potential to build such a colony.

We are so comfortable with mutual relationship in our own group or party, in our family or community. But we are ignorant of the meaning of our presence to our surroundings.

While we are enjoying our exclusive life, our existence spreads fear to others outside our nest.
