Quand on chasse l’abeille de l’épi de maïs, on ne mangera pas de maïs (Proverbe Ngbaka – République Démocratique du Congo (RDC)).
When we chase the bee from the ear of corn, we will not eat any corn (Ngbaka Proverb – Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)).
That is creatively expressed. It has a literal meaning with the bee’s role in pollination, so it can lead to devastating consequences. This could also be used for making sure one isn’t ungrateful to others who give so much.
