I’ve learned a lot from working with bees, but one lesson keeps showing up: respect the bee space.
In beekeeping, the bee space is that perfect little gap (about 3/8 of an inch) that bees need to move around. If it’s too small, they seal it off. Too big, they fill it with a mess (for beekeepers). But when is it just right? They get to work—smooth, efficient, no drama.
Same thing in business and leadership.
Give people too little space, and they’ll shut down.
Too much, and things get disorganized fast.
But if you find that balance—where people have room to move, think, and do what they do best—you get something really solid. Productive, healthy, sustainable.
Whether I’m in a hive or working with my team or clients, this shows up again and again.
Give people space to be great.
Respect the flow.
Trust the process.
Bee space—it’s real.
