Bumble Bee Hard At Work

Bumble bee on
the move, from
flower to flower,
seeing red clover,
it stops for a while.

Humming it's way
    around this
nature palace
so free, to take
pollen back to
     hive.

Nectar so enchanting
to draw each one
to the colorful flowers
in the fresh outdoors.

Knowing that
all flowers would
soon fade away,
if not for the bumble
bee's hard work.

So very true. Wish I wasn't so terrified of them and therefore be able to appreciate their part in nature as I watch them. Love, Shar

Yes, they say the whole world would die if all the bees died out...crazy how everything really does have a purpose - a grand design indeed! Love Kristin
