The Nature of Emergency Services: A Beekeeper’s Perspective

We can learn a lot about ourselves by observing nature. The parallels between the work of a beehive and the work of emergency services are astounding. Bees have an organization with an overall goal that is achieved by selfless individuals each with a specific job to do. As in emergency services, every hive has rank and structure, discipline and seniority, leadership and field work, all pulling together for the community. See what the bees can teach us about ourselves and the work that we do.
