I watched the bees in my backyard come and go for about ten days and compared their behaviors to business systems. We are playing the same game.
Observation:
The single most important observation in the story is the intricate relationship between bees and their environment, highlighting how bees optimize energy collection, storage, and population growth. This observation parallels human economic and business practices, particularly in the franchise model. The story emphasizes the regenerative nature of bee activity in contrast to human activities, which are often dissipative.
