To play with bees you must seek their honey
The poem
弄蜂須要求他蜜只怕遭他尾上針雖是眼前有異路暗裏深藏荊棘林
In English
To play with bees you must seek their honey,but you fear the sting at the tail.Though there seems to be a different road before you,hidden within are brambles and thorns.
What it says
If you want honey you must approach the bees, and risk the sting. The poem says another road seems to open ahead, but thorns lie hidden within. Benefit and risk often come together, so look at the hidden costs before deciding.
A thought to take with you
When you see a benefit, look equally hard at the risk behind it before you decide.
