BEE THERE

The word hive is a verb that means to move together as one.  Much like Federation!  Honest communication is at the heart of the team.  Bees use vibration and pheromones to help pass messages.  We have so much technology today to help us communicate.  We should constantly be changing and looking toward the future.   The leader is truly the servant of all.  We think of the queen bee as the leader, when in truth the queen is the servant of the team, laying eggs to ensure the future of the hive. 

It's the team behaving as one, in pursuit of a common goal that brings success.  One favorite fact is when they perform, think and act as one they accomplish great things.
