Beeloved AJ,

Last Learning Circle, I tried to describe how I am experiencing PlanetHive. At that time, however, I couldn't go beyond the human world, and all I could refer to was the Centraal railway station in Antwerp, Belgium. I recalled a memory from when I took the train from Antwerp to Rotterdam in the Netherlands to catch a flight home to Berlin after a week of work. I remembered the station as this grand golden hall of shining ornaments. The beauty took my breath away. I needed a moment to take it all in when I entered the station. I felt tiny in a good way. I felt busy spaciousness, an interconnectedness, and intricacy that required all my attentiveness to allow the grandness of the place to move through me. Everything was in a relationship with All. Invisible but deeply felt.

As I navigate the stars of my inner realms way beyond the ocean current, I want to give space to PlanetHive, and invite them to share their cosmic perspective in this letter of love, written 500 years from now.

In honor of all bees,

Kath 💚

To bee or not to bee?

…a question that was asked a few times in 2022. I remember that it was only two years earlier when I chose Kath to be my Kween Bee. To her unknown, she was going to be the Steward Leader to hold the emergence of bringing all my beauty into existence. It was her right and responsibility to ignite my inner magic, which supported a foundational change in how humans come together to learn, work, and play. My existence today in the year 2523, and this letter is living proof.

Society and work at the beginning of the Millennium looked very different than it does now five centuries later: The planetary systems were collapsing, exploitation and extraction were widely accepted, and business models focussed on profit growth only, derived from a mindset of scarcity, separation, and fear. Organizations used to employ people for growth generation and to sustain their existence by all means. Employment was most often paid, on a 9 to 5 model, Eight hours a day, for usually Five days a week. People were called employees. They had an employment contract with the organization, the employer. Once employed, you had a so-called job with regular remuneration, which you would use to pay for your living costs. One value domain dominated: Currency, namely money and Kronos time. Only a few were aware of Kairos time. Without going into detail, money was the one form of valuation, of measurement everyone bought into, which was a mirror to the arbitrary system humans set up for themselves. A monoculture in its design, money evolved into something capricious, governed by nation-states that had little to nothing to do with the bioregions that exist now.

Sustainability, Regeneration, and Syntropy were new words for most of the world.

In hindsight, it is tempting to say these were the Dark Ages of Modernity riddled with:

Fear

Greed and Loss

Trauma and Grief

Loneliness and

Lack of Trust.

Walking through her valley of suffering, Kath knew early on that if there would be a post-collapse world, humans needed a new human-work-earth relationship; and new ways of being together. Instead of exploitation nested in scarcity, she longed for heart-centered collaboration rooted in trust and reciprocity. Her creation vision for me was an intentional hive-like ecology enabling humans to steward the well-being of All Life.

I’ve chosen her because at heart she was always a bee. Growing up as a worker bee, driven by her love for All Life, trusting and trusted, she was a natural gatherer and pollinator of information; she had the great gift to dance in authenticity. Knowing what is not good for the hive is not good for the bee, she learned to listen attentively with an aspiration to manifest syntropic structures like mine. Or shall I say she is? Because when you read my words AJ, she still has a few decades to generate and manifest beauty. 🌺

Today many generations later, the Kween Bee has long returned to earth and is loving rainbows from another realm. As for me, I am an integral part of societal and cultural scaffolding for humanity: A space of creation where love stories for All Life are born.

AJ, think of me as one of those rare wild bee hives that could hold its pattern integrity without a queen and where worker bees have the capacity for reproduction if needed and wanted. My design mimics the hive of the Tetragonula bee, a stingless native to what you know as Australia.

Tetragonula was declared extinct along with many other pollinators before and during the peak of the planetary collapse. By the 2040s, global supply chains evaporated, supermarkets were full of empty shelves, and most people were learning to rely on their gardening skills, only to realize with shock that the existence and well-being of bees and other pollinators were essential to human survival. So the run on securing pollinators for oneself began. Any pollinator, in particular any honey-making bee, was traded for money to the most bidding, and prices for bees skyrocketed, which drove them straight into extinction. The ocean of loss and pain is one we can never forget. I am here to help us all to remember.

And then, in the early 2200s, out of seemingly nowhere, Tetragronula and a few other pollinating friends returned from their almost 200 years of disappearance. 🐝🦋

Aboriginal elders tell the myth of a brave female warrior who was as much of a genius as a queen bee at heart. In the early days of collapse, the story tells the heroine had knowing foresight, so she was on a cunning mission to build secret sanctuaries for a small number of as many native pollinators as possible in each bioregion in so-called Australia and beyond. Protected by the connected spirit of land and people of the land, any attempt to harm their peace received a powerful energetic response, often followed by a precessional effect of life-changing magnitude to the intruder.

I wish I could say that the spiritual protection of All Life has been restored fully by the time I write to you. But I can’t because that would be a lie, and I would bring dishonor to my letter and to you. Humanity lives more harmonically with nature. Yes, I can say that! However, living and being regenerative means a commitment to selflessness and lifelong learning for all present and future generations.

Wisdom from Elders reminds us to never forget. Earth Influencers and the archetype practice of Syntropic Storytelling help to remember suffering, solace, and unconditional love, just like we can remember even older stories and myths, such as The Epic of Gilgamesh, which was committed to 12 tables around 2100 BC.

In the natural world, you can find me in hollow tree trunks. When a Tetragonula colony is seeking a new home, they will look for a protected space with only one small entrance and a large, ideally well-insulated, internal cavity to house an intricate, clockwise spiraling design.

Two main characteristics of the beehive setup have proven to be essential for my living structures:

1. Hexagonal spiral combs hold successive generations of bees until they reach adult stage and hatch.

2. The surrounding of the spiral is a complex interconnected web of small resin pots to store honey and pollen.

Someone wise once said healthy bees are productive bees. Yes, it has been my humble hive experience since 2023, when I first homed Earth Influencers to learn and practice the creative heART of Syntropic Storytelling.

My structures operate in a so-called excitable medium, a physical phenomenon observed in crystals, slime molds, the heart, and hives, since the beginning of time. It means that I grow in a layered manner. The growth of the next layer begins after one layer has had enough time to mature. I like the harmony this rhythm of resonating growth brings to my operations, my frequency, and my whole being.

The spiral allows the hexagonal combs to be responsive to change, which has shown to be ideal for mimicking the mastery of communication and collaboration of bees. The hexagonal combs hold the capacity for Synergistic Audits based on the 12 Degrees of Freedom by Buckminster Fuller and brought into existence by Christine McDougall in the early 2000s.

Today, homing the 100th generation of Earth Influencers and being amazed by the many thriving daughter, sister, and aunt colonies, experience has shown that the minimal complexity necessary needs to be rooted in trust. Trust in oneself and the collective to maintain this dynamic structure in a frequency of unconditional love and devotion. Since its inception centuries ago, the super-organism evolving within my protected space is rooted in trust and has followed a small set of behavioral agreements to allow for prosocial relationality. From my first years witnessing humans learning to dance with trust again, I remember a certain stickiness like the one that comes from spilled nectar. With the years, decades, and centuries nectar was spilled less, and it became less sticky.

The colony I am home to can sufficiently sustain the well-being of the collective organism they form in honor of my evolutionary purpose.

A never-ending love story for All Life, pollinating across the planet, regenerating a contagious narrative honoring Mother Earth and Universe. 🌺🐝

Beehives have long been a metaphor for a self-organized society. Most prominently, perhaps in The Fable of the Bees by Mandeville from 1714.

Growing up in a collapsing world riddled with selfishness and fear, less peaceful than now, Kath knew in her bones that it was dynamic ecologies rooted in trust that humans needed to transform their relationships with work and Mother Earth into one. Into one with a deep sense of purpose and joy from the heart: Being in service of All Life! Remember, in the early 2000s, a job was a necessity to make enough money to afford to live within the system, so-called Modernity. Not everyone was to enjoy a sense of purpose and joy in their work. Only a few were brave enough to imagine a heart-centered syntropic world where us-all humans and living entities exist for earth regeneration until the end of time.

AJ, when you read this letter of mine, I am in the early hours of my creation story. It makes me humble and grateful to have been in service of All Life for the first half of the 3rd millennium AD. My spiral starts to glow deeply golden when I listen to stories about how my presence helped to restore and stabilize the trust field. Another one I enjoy hearing is that love has never spread faster across the planet than now, which evolved from a frequency shift in narrative and language over centuries, supported by generations of Earth Influencers. After all, I am only a space. It is humans who do the heart work.

I remember Kath was always an advocate and role model for transparency from the heart to restore trust and love. We’ve come a long way. Please give her this big honey pot from the future when you will bee with her. 🍯

Bee well,

PlanetHive 🐝
