“The men of experiment are like the ant, they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance. But the bee takes the middle course, it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.”
Francis Bacon

like the new look of your blog! that is true about the bee indeed! I hadn't thought of it in those terms comparing it to the ant or spider; I think I would indeed like to be a bee over the other two choices
