Ingredients for Honey in the Human Hive

What is the equivalent for the Human Hive of producing 40 pounds of honey in the bee hive? That is the question that I have been inquiring into through the lenses of bio-psycho-cultural-social-mimicry. In the generative seed bed of my recent visit to San Francisco, glimpses of the ingredients for producing “Honey” in our Human [...]
