Fascinating stuff Neil. On a less Zen note, there are about 5 million species of insect, but the bee is - as far as I know - uniquely beneficial to humans for its honey. Apart from the silkworm I don't know of any that are useful to us beyond their eco-value (pollination, eating other insects etc). I've heard there are medicinal benefits of the bee's sting too. Maybe you could write a bit about this for us?
