Listen to poem:
To be a bee
is not to be becoming
as pollen dust
defies the brush off.
is not to be becalmed
as the buzzer is never silent,
never switched to off.
is not be idle
as bees are frightfully busy
all of the time.
is not to be solitary,
as hives where bees live,
always swarm with bees.
Bees are never asked
'to be or not to be' questions
about being bees.
