Bee

1. The bee is more honored than other animals, not because she labors, but because she labors for others.
                                                    -St. Chrysostom 

2. The bee that hath honey in her mouth hath a sting in her tail.
                                                                                    -Lyly, Euphues

3. How doth the little busy bee 
             Improve each shinning hour,
    And gather honey all the day
             From every opening flower.
                                         -Isaac Watts, Against
                                          Idleness
