Solitary bees make up 90% of the bees today and there are between 20,000-30,000 different species of bees worldwide. Now, imagine if 90% of the human population were solitary. How would some people react and how would the world change? For some, I imagine the isolation to be comforting and for others, a cause for insanity and immense anger. These types of bees don't belong to any colony and usually spend their time pollinating the earth and caring for their eggs. The nests that they create are usually in hollow twigs, holes in wood and most likely, tunnels in the ground. As soon as I read all of this information, I immediately thought of the Creature. Like the Creature, these bees are gentle by nature and will only attack if they feel the need to defend themselves. The Creature made his home under a pile of rubbage and for the beginning of the novel, he was a drifter in life. He did the major things necessary to survive while remaining a dismal speck in the twilight. He only attacked out of self-defense, which is something he was forced to learn due to lack of guidance and social training. However, unlike the bees, he never grew accustomed to the isolation. The continued seperation from society caused him to become violent and aggresive.
