Carpenter Bee

You giant animals need my help
Pollinating flowers in my care
Yet you are rude swat at me
To you I have done nothing
That deck you built looks so delicious
I lay eggs there I am not vicious
I sleep all winter buzz all spring
I never get a splinter I'm a carpenter bee!

Carpenter bees are best described as, "In your face" as they do not hesitate to confront one eye-to-eye! Plus they are notoriously holey, so enjoy your flight of fancy! Aloha!
