Bees Knees

Humble,bumble bee
One season's life,fly free

Working the summer scene
Unless crowned,as May Queen

Sometime cousin cuckoo,comes to stay
Her offspring eggs to lay

A nursemaid,then,Spring to Fall
'Til Winter's death knell,calls

I noticed bumble bees love the flowers of the basil plant. You probably are already aware. : ) Love, Shar

Brian, this offers the reader a suberb flow not only of words but of nature, the picture of the bees, the bird laying eggs. Very well written. Michael
