Bumblebee

Oh hello, dear Bumblebee Tis nice of you to visit me Now my pink petals open wide So please feel free to come inside It will be a bit of a squeeze Cos you’re one of the bigger bees Now taste my nectar o so sweet Please take your time, enjoy the treat Then in return please will you take The yellow pollen that I make And mix it with other flowers’ juice Then our plant species reproduce And so we shall go on and on To create next generation.

Love watching the bees fly from flower to flower. I got couple bee hotels in my garden and have a wildflower patch designed just for the pollinators. We need them more than they do us, Enjoyed your poem Tony, hope you had a good weekend, Emilia : )

At our local nature reserve we have 'bug hotels' to encourage diversity after years of destruction by chemical pesticides. Hopefully we can help restore the balance. Best wishes. Tony

Hello Tony … without bees nothing will survive therefore bees should be worshiped, however, I have never seen a bumble bee apart from photos - thank you Tony - Lindsay

Thanks Lindsay. This came to mind after watching an enormous bumble bee forcing his way into a foxglove flower where he had a free meal and then flew off to spread the pollen. Tony.
