"It's not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised, the mosquito is swatted."- Mary O'Connor

They both are busy, but what is the motive behind their 'busyness'? We praise the bee because what he is doing is productive! We swat the mosquito because his 'busyness' is annoying, non-productive, and hurts !!!

Both the bee and the mosquito are busy, but the bee is seen to be more valuable than the mosquito simple because of what each does. The bee pollinates flowers and makes honey which we love. Mosquito's just fly around and suck our blood leaving us with itchy bites. So you see, they are both busy, it's just what they are busy doing that differentiates the two.

It means the bee and mosquito are both busy, but the bee is busy making honey or pollenating flowers. Things that are considered favorable.
The mosquito is busy sucking your blood, so even though he's busy..he's still pretty useless.

The bee is praised by man,because he is busy doing something we admire,making honey. The mosquito,however,is busy searching out someone to supply him with blood,for his own appetite,producing nothing. Actually both are doing exactly what they were intended to do,and are of equal value.

It means it doesn't matter that you're busy, as long as your busy doing something that makes things better for everyone.
The bee pollinates flowers so they can keep growing, and a mosquito doesn't do anything but bite/annoy people.

The bee is productive...making honey while the mosquito drives us crazy...they just want to suck the blood out of us and make us itch.

Mosquitos are just pests that can give u west nile. A bee makes honey that is in alot of the food we eat. i dont know if thats right but its my guess.
