Honey Bee Network

The Honey Bee Philosophy

Honey Bee Network's mission is best explained through the metaphor of a honey bee which does what many intellectuals and other privileged people fail to do. It gathers nectar from the flowers without impoverishing them. The Network similarly seeks to ensure that people do not feel short-changed when they share their knowledge with outsiders. It is for this reason that communication in local languages became an important norm. Promotion of lateral learning among creative individuals and communities through local language newsletters is one of the important missions of the Honey Bee Network.

Philosophy of Nine Es

The ethical fulcrum of Honey Bee Network can be captured by Nine Es (Education, Equity, Environment, Ethics, Excellence, Empathy, Efficiency, Enterprise and Expertise) – the values that are central to the existence of Honey Bee Network. These provide a framework for societies seeped in mediocrity to get over their inertia and move towards a compassionate, creative, competitive as well as collaborative society.
