I chose the quote at the beginning of Chapterten: "A bee's life is but short. During spring and summer--the most strenuous periods of forging--a worker bee, as a rule, does not live more than four or five weeks...Threatened by all kinds of dangers during their flights, many workers die before they have reached even that age.
--The Dancing Bees"
This quote was chosen for the beginning of this particular chapter because it represents the end of May's life and how she spent her life. May was always carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, almost like bees do with pollen. She was constantly a danger to herself, always returning to her wall at the mention of any sort of troubles. Finally, one day, she has had enough. She makes the decision that it is her time to leave and does so. This quotation describes many of our daily lives: confusing and troublesome. But, through it all, we work through our difficulties and succed in our lives, just like May did.
