“I have around 80,000 bees, and we make hundreds of jars of honey a year,” Beyonce continues. She’s a mother to three exceptional children, Blue Ivy, 8, and twins Rumi and Sir, 3. The reason behind the same is her daughters’ allergies. She added about the same, “both have terrible allergies, and honey has countless healing properties.”
What success is for her? She adds, “Owning my films, clothing lines, and masters is important to me. Your songs, your image and the way you conduct business do not have to be created from a commercial point of view or a male point of view. You can decide what success looks like for yourself. Being number one does not mean better quality. And commercial success certainly doesn’t equate to being impactful.”

Beyonce also opened up about the level of commitment she has for her work. She said, “Once I’ve committed, I give it all of me. I start with identifying my intention and making sure that I am aligned with the collaborators for the same purpose. It takes enormous patience to rock with me. My process is tedious. I review every second of footage several times and know it backwards and forwards.”
“I find every ounce of magic, and then I deconstruct it. I keep building more layers and repeat this editing process for months. I won’t let up until it’s undeniably reached its full potential. I believe my strength is understanding how storytelling, music, lighting, angles, fashion, art direction, history, dance, and editing work together. They are all equally important,” concluded Beyonce.
