Gestell has the one remainder of storing up replacements by collecting and alter earths finite supplies, and converts it into stores of undiversified ones.

Their cycle begins with the array of [t]he nectar which bees consume from the blossoms followed by its transformation as it is worked up in their stomachs where it undergoes miscellaneous changes (130).
