“Make a friend that is a hive. I have only rarely bonded with wasps, but those experiences were even deeper and stranger than with bees.

Each of the animal peoples is a -=people=-, and an -=intelligence=-, and a -=mind=-. They do not ordinarily seek contact with humans for reasons which should be obvious. But occasionally, a human can so impress them that an exception may be made.

Please become this kind of human.”
