King Solomon and the Bee

By: Uriel Ofek illustrations: Naama Lahav

Can a tiny bee help a king? King Solomon is certain it cannot, and laughs at the idea: bees are small, weak and inferior, how can one help “the wisest man who ever lived”?   “Every man has his hour” (Ethics of the Fathers, 4:3)

Our Rabbis teach us that every creature in this world has a purpose, as well as strengths and skills. For each there will come a time when it is needed above all others; a moment in which it alone will know what to do and how to help. All of us, great and small, can make a contribution using our strengths and skills. Even the little bee in the story was able to help the big, wise king. It made the Queen of Sheba understand King Solomon’s true greatness, and inspired King Solomon to write another pearl of wisdom in the Book of Proverbs.
