If too much honey is extracted in the summer, the bees will need an energy infusion (sugar syrup) the next spring. In a business, if too much money is removed during the busy season, the business will need a cash infusion to ramp up.
Secret 7. Honey Comes and Honey Goes: The bee teaches the girl about the cyclical nature of day and night, the changing seasons due to Earth's tilt, the impermanence of life, and the necessity of planning and adapting to these changes in the context of a bee's life and honey production.
