We could learn a lot from ants and bees. I watched a David Attenborough programme which showed two large colonies of ants living in particular areas next to each other, but different types of ant. They had a collective agreement, respecting each other's boundaries, so did not fight. Bees, (I'm not sure about ants), make collective decisions, for example - about moving the hive. The decision is taken by each bee at the same time - an ultimate democracy . Ant colonies are about 75% female. Bee colonies are 99% female. That might have something to do with their ecological success over millions of years, compared to humans, who have been around for a glimpse in time, and will probably be extinct soon.

If humans were 75% female we might survive longer and live better and if I were one of the 25% male, I might be more irresistible...
😂😂😂
You seem to be under the more irresistible minority now. We like a guy with a good sense of humour .
Agreed!
Absolutely! I love bees. No kings 😉. There were matriarchal societies in the past; I wonder what happened...

So true, Anna. Killing definitely is not the only (or best) solution.
During my Jemez residency I found that a simple Google search would supply various herbs and/or essential oils
