What was Aurelius actually talking about when he made the following observation. He was obviously speaking metaphorically and not solely as an apiarist.
“That which is not good for the beehive cannot be good for the bees.”
— Marcus Aurelius

Think of our environment: if we destroy it, all living creatures will also be destroyed. This is true of any home in which creatures must work together, a beehive or an entire planet. If something harms the environment or the beehive, or one's country or any place where people must live and work it will also harm the people..
