Question

[1]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "In a valley full of mustard fields, an old beekeeper named Ramu kept wooden hives at the edge of his farm. In spring, when mustard bloomed yellow, bees moved from flower to flower, and the fields hummed from morning to evening. A boy named Keshav was afraid of bees. He had been stung once and believed all bees were enemies. Ramu did not laugh at his fear. He gave Keshav a veil, taught him to move slowly and calmly near the hives, and showed him how bees, when left undisturbed, ignore people and work for the flowers. One day, Keshav saw a bee trapped in a spider's web and gently freed it with a leaf. Ramu smiled and said that courage is not the absence of fear. It is fear understood and handled with care. At harvest, Ramu shared honey with neighbours, saying that bees give to those who protect flowers, and humans must do the same." What is the main idea of the passage?
