" You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.

For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towardsthe infinite.

 

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.

Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison ?

 

Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune.

But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthst dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,

And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life,

And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret. "

From : The Prophet by Khalil Gibran

Worker ants are sterile, they look for food, look after the young, and defend the nest from unwanted visitors. Ants are clean and tidy insects. Some worker ants are given the job of taking the rubbish from the nest and putting it outside in a special rubbish dump! Each colony of ants has its own smell. In this way, intruders can be recognized immediately. The worker ants keep the eggs and larvae in different groups according to ages.

I found some Japanese workers in Disney Land. Also, there are some workers

they came from other countries. In the park, there are so many guests who

come from all over the world. So I heard so many languages in there. I

want to work with using foreign languages, so I admire to work there.

Farm workers face safety, health, and environmental risks. Agriculture is among the most hazardous sectors for workers of all ages, due to the nature of work and frequent lack of job training for the high number of low-skilled, seasonal and migrant workers.

Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection.

 

The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

Spotted working on National Trust dredger on Wey Navigation. Quite happy to be photographed.

You'd expect Bombus pratorum to have another abdominal yellow stripe, but it's not unusual fo some of the small workers like this one to have very little or like in this case no yellow at all. Good to be seeing some of the smaller bees after a month or so of mainly huge queens.
