Was reading Ouspensky the other day and couldn't help to notice simlarity between two words BEEHIVE and BEHAVE (the way englishmen would pronouce it). Beehive mentality, can be paraphrased as Behave Mentality in terms of obidience.
Now I am wondering if these two words have the same origins. They seem to have appeared about the same time.
