The secret life of bees is a journey for the bees, where they find their own identity by doing what they are told to do starting from when they were born to when they die. Their one and only goal or task is to pollinate the flowers, so that they can get the honey for the hive so that they can build their territory or their kingdom for the Queen bee. It is a metaphorical statement that describes Lily's journey--- in finding who was her mom and what really happened to her. She also wanted to find out if what T. Ray had told her was true--- that her mom left her and she was just packing her stuff when Lily accidentally pulled the trigger of the gun and killed her mom. These questions have been haunting Lily for many, many years. She was dying to know the answers to these questions.
At the end, she finally finds out the truth, but she was hurt from the truth. However, she had grown so much from knowing the truth and she had learned to accept the truth. Although she was motherless, she had people around her that really loved and cared for her. This is the same for the bees because the bees have their own species that care for them. In actuality, most humans and living things do and this is what keeps us going in life, despite the hardships we face.
