Hear the buzzing, see the dance of the bees
Working all hours of day on the bower
Gathering nectar from blossom on trees
Flitting and circling flower to flower.
A taste of honey, prepared in the hive
So delicious and nutritiously sweet
We don't realise how hard the bees strive
In producing this pure liquid gold treat.
Mother’s in the castle, queen of her hive
No messing with her, she’ll sting to her death
She takes mating flights to keep her hive live
Laying eggs, hardly leaves time to draw breath.
Maybe the bees all have stings in their tails
But only attack when danger prevails.
