extracting

To me, this also implies hard work, not rambling as in ambling... keep on truckin'! 

"How to live. How to get the most life… . How to extract its honey from the flower of the world. That is my every-day business. I am as busy as a bee about it. I ramble all over the fields on that errand, and am never so happy as when I feel myself heavy with honey and wax."
