Bee Focused

What Honeybees Can Teach Us About Change, Crisis, and Communication

By: Scott Proposki

Narrated by: Nick Preston

Scott Proposki's storytelling helps us understand beekeeping and the amazing metaphor he weaves together with business during an extraordinary time in history. Scott examines the critical art of thinking and stinging point, as learning questions and opens other people's minds, which can position you for excellence in understanding some crucial business strategies.

The Powerful Connection Between The World of Beekeeping and Business Has Emerged

The crisis of viruses called COVID-19 gripped the entire planet, and people's lives, the world economy, and our whole future were uncertain. Some businesses collapsed, while others thrived.

A similar phenomenon happens in honey bee hives. For several years, we have seen outbreaks of Chronic Bee Paralysis Virus (CBPV). If the virus is not treated, the honey bees will die off, and the colony will collapse. During the COVID-19 epidemic, businesses have had to close for months to stop the spread of the virus.

Why Do Some Hives Die and Some Hives Thrive?

There will always be certain factors beyond our control, but the story you choose to tell will affect the outcome of your business. Keeping an open mind is just as important as understanding who you are, knowing your business, and remaining true to your vision. Be secure in who you are, but also be ready to adapt to changing times.

Like honey bees infected with CBPV, some companies did collapse. Still, some business owners will weather this new storm because we have to. Our ecological survival depends on the honey bees overcoming their virus. Our economic survival depends on business owners overcoming this virus as humans.

Luckily, for Scott's experience, he has discovered that entrepreneurs can thrive in adverse conditions, especially those with ADHD. They become very focused and can pivot fast.

This Guy Knows Nothing About Bees

I was actually offended by his use of bees to sell his meaninglessness. This book has no basis in bee behavior. I doubt that he knows the first thing about bees. Just looking for an unsuspecting audience.
