The mind & body are not separate entities. The gross form of the mind is the body & the subtle form of the body is the mind. The practice of asana integrates & harmonizes the two.
Both the body & the mind harbor tensions or knots. Every mental knot has a corresponding physical, muscular knot & vice versa. The aim of asana is to release these knots.
Asana release mental tensions by dealing with them on the physical level, acting somato-psychically, through the body to the mind.
―Swami Satyananda SaraswatiAsana Pranayama Mudra Banda

A bee is kind of cool, but a hive, it’s like a superorganism.
It has its own mind. It’s like a mammal. Each hive out there has a different personality, a different set of genetic traits. They’ll respond differently to stress.
As humans, you can’t help but develop a little affection for anything that gets to be like that and has its own personality.
