Nature’s invitation to the bee to dine is both sensual and divine. The delicacy and intricacy of a flower’s beckoning design flaunts itself in diverse and various patternings and forms. Without shame nor modesty the flower calls to the bee: ‘Come hither and feast. Through you our species will spread and prosper’.
Can we neglect the selfless honey bee? ~
Pollen collector from flowers and crops. ~
Tireless worker of the hive colony, ~
Performing a duty that never stops. ~
Mankind’s farming habits threaten the hive ~
Bee colonies lost to insecticide. ~
Landscape modified so bees cannot thrive ~
With bees in decline, mankind’s suicide? ~
But, ma nature has alternative plans. ~
She sends viruses, floods, storms and wild fire. ~
Over the planet her fury spans. ~
To revenge bee slaughter man shall expire. ~
Go each one and sow seeds in abundance. ~
Selfless be for planet and descendants. ~
