Poem
The Honey Bee Not fun to be stung by the Honey Bee It happened to me picking from a cherry tree. Only worker bees sting, and only under threat They die once they sting but the hurt you can't forget. It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man. Has all the substances to sustain life and that's why I'm a fan. One in three mouthfuls we eat in this nation Is directly or indirectly caused by pollination. Honey includes vitamins, minerals, and enzymes strains Only food that contains "pinocembrin" for improving the brain. Apis mellifera, out of 20,000 species is the best Top honey"manuka" treats colds, skin infections and all the rest. An eight-ounce jar sells for $60 online. Stealing hives and honey is now organized crime. A honey bee visits almost 100 flowers during a collection trip Knows hundreds of different floral varieties with out a slip. Can tell pollen or nectar from yards away. Each takes A life time to produces a thimble full of honey-so they say Only the honeybee improves the environment And doesn't prey on any species is their intent. Bees have a queen, but it is not a monarchy. The swarm votes for the hive, so it's a democracy. They vote by dancing around a figure eight A nay is by those who dance straight. But today is a pollinate crisis for the bee If they don't make it neither will we. A rapid loss over the past decadeeat Pesticides, diseases, and fires are a price they paid. There is no doubt they are under stress People stupidly destroy their nests thinking they are a pest. Fewer bees is a risk to domestic crops Ecological health can make the economy flop. No bees, means no almonds, means no cattle or chicken Meaning no milk or meat and this is not fiction. Einstein said if we lose all bee hives Man has less than four years to survive. Like canaries in a coal mine Means the health of our planet is in decline. But beekeepers and government funding is doing their best Saving colonies, planting flowers, trees and all the rest.
