Bees Talking: Symbiotic Plan

We interchange our work in perfect plans 
through nature's symbiotic grand design.
We, honeybees, fly through the open skies
to seek our sustenance from nature's gifts.

Antennae guide safe landing onto plants
and blossoms that provide sweet nectar stored;
then carried by our worker-bees back home-
where honey's formed in hives to feed our young.

Plant pollen on our bodies will transfer
to other blooms and recreate more life;
new flowers, trees, but also vegetables
and fruits will grow to feed the hungry world.

The honey from our hives provides your treats,
and pollinated plants sprout foods you eat.
We interact in sharing these fine gifts
supporting nature's grand survival plans.

Hey, Sandra, this is so well-written. I enjoyed it. A friend of mine is a bee-keeper, so I try to keep up on them. You did a splendid write, and I wish you the best in the contest.
