We endeavor vigorously from dull dawn to dusk, As we fly from bloom to sprout in quest of nectar, Men stand to amass by swapping honey for bulk, The hive will be mostly empty and left slightly ajar. As per rhetoric, our stool can serve to treat cancer, All ulcer forms respond finely to this therapy, When ingested, it bears the body solid and denser, Humans would not contrive osteoporosis misery. We search the fertile soil at the crack of dawn, As the visible sun's beams reveal raw floral life, Fertilization is a side effect the same as a prawn, The pollen grips our hairy legs, with no strife. Men, however, are woeful with our free work, But destroy our beehives to use honey and wax! Our fiefs of bees are mostly massive and spark, So we may glimpse the flowery grins and relax. But people have utterly built microwave stations, Working on the noble quest for sprouting nectar! We drudge incredibly firm with little diversion, And preserve our line going from our scepter. Our hives are purely mangled by man, too, And for syrup and paraffin wax, of course! God who supplied bees in the grandest view, Humans damage the ecology of the universe. The clamoring bee has no time for sadness, The mumble of bees is the garden voice, Hear to bumblebees and follow their lead, Some words are golden, and many are dread.

Honeybees are a boon to mankind. Unfortunately due to man's callous greed, he oozes out the hard earned honey from the beehive starving the bees in rainy days ! This poem on the importance and medicinal value of honey should open our eyes ! CCongratulations on your win dear friend !

Only a man whose sensitivities are finely tuned (like yours, Lasaad) could distinguish a honeybee's tears. Kudos, Gershon

Some people have hives that they will bring to farms to pollen the crops for the farmer and the owners of the hives get the increase from the profit from the honey. They showed on TV how someone is tending to beehives on top of some high rises in Atlanta, Ga. and they use the honey to go with food in their restaurant. Amazing. I enjoyed reading your work. Your visit to my page is always delightful. Sara

A tribute to the most valuable insects that are the benefactors of the human race. Einstein has said that if bees disappear the humans will follow. An outstanding poem! Blessings!
