The title may sound wierd.. What has being human and deforestration got a connection? There certainly is...
Well, am not just refering to being human but also be(e)ing human. Yes, of late, I have been hearing and reading that Bees are constructing their hives wherever they feel like. Yes, there is a bee-hive at the back side of my apartment. I was actually petrified looking at it and it gave me a kind a goose bumps looking at it. The anxiety or you may call it paranoia remained in me for 2 days.
Setting my fear aside, I was thinking what made Bees construct their hives at the rear side of my apartment. It is a known fact that Bees make their hive in a dark enclosed or dry space such as a tree trunk or a top roof. I have also seen the bee hives at the entrance of a temple tower(near gopuram as the ceiling is very high). But, this time around, they chose an apartment ceiling and they constructed one... It is really interesting to see the bees ( different types - Worker Bee, Queen Bee, drone etc) doing different tasks to ensure their objective is met. There are lessons to be learnt from Bees/Wasps. We could seldom see them taking rest during day time. As soon as they see the sun, they start springing in to action. They go kilometers to bring in pollen and honey from flowers. In general, there are many people who eye for the honey they have in their hive. The honey is not for the humans to use, but for its larvae, and infants. It is very interesting to see the way they plan and execute their objectives.
Interestingly, the bees presume the tubelight brightness to be the natural light and they start swarming around the tubelight every morning. As a result, if I open the door in the early morning, say 5 am, I see many bees swarming. This has potential risk/danger. Although, I buy in to the concept of demolishing any insect/bird's nest is a sin, of late I see them as a potential risk to the apartment per se.
The bees constructing their hives has got a link to deforestation. Since, the trees are cut down both in forests and in residence, this results in many dangers.
1. Bees losing their location.
2. We do not inhale pure oxygen.
and many....
