The true title is Honey Bee (since it is an acrostic!) How busily you work, oh little honey bee, On waves of breeze beneath blue summer sky, Nectar seeking for your hive community! Employing your antenna, you are led to fly Yonder where flowers' pollen beckons you so sweetly. Beautiful is she, the flower that at last you spy! Eagerly you take her nectar, bearing it back home. Evaporating it with comrades' fanning wings -you've made honeycomb! Written Sept. 28, 2016 for Shadow Hamilton's Bees Contest

I hate when sponsors force you to use their titles -- that's ridiculous (no offense to any sponsors). All works of art should be titled by the author. Bee-autiful Acrostic, Andrea. :-)

Beautiful and clever!...though I'll admit I've been stung more times than I care to remember, they are vital to our planet, also it's not honey bees that have stung me, more like wasps and hornets:(

Hi Andrea: Since you are obviously the Queen Bee of Poetry, would you have time to help edit a poem that is going to be published. I'm just not in agreement with the edits they sent back and my confidence is a bit fragile. If not -- no worries. xo PS I mean the compliment.

No worries Andrea. It was just inital panic. I worked through most of the edits. Sleep is a wonder. thanks

Congrats on your win, Loved this, I was at a friends, and his flower garden was full of bumble bees, he surprised me by saying they liked to be petted just like a cat, was amazed when he showed me!
