Bee magic,
deft and sure,
never lingering to despair.
Bee light,
zip and zoom,
ignoring all but the nectar.
Bee strong,
tough and enduring,
working nonstop all summer.
Bee safe,
at risk of harm,
you give back more than you take.

Note: Despite colony collapse disorder, the bees are plentiful in the field. Without them, all of us would be out there with Q-tips, pollinating or perishing. Long live the bee!

I love bees and the way they buzz. There is something cheery about their actions. I particularly love plump bumblebees, Brenda. We need to protect them and be careful of harmful sprays. . .

Your poem reminded me of Sue Mond’s book “The Secret Life of Bees”. It’s a fine fiction story. Have you read it?
