In Praise of the Bumble Bee

In Praise of the Bumble Bee

      Taking pollen from the flowers,
      Working all the daylight hours,
      Praise the humble bumble bee,
      Fertilising crops for you and me,
      Humming on your productive flight,
      Busy, busy, busy where you alight.
      Without the bee would we survive?
      Collecting nectar for its hive,
      To keep its brood, and us, alive;
      Working all the daylight hours,
     Taking pollen from the flowers.

Jan Allison July 4, 2016 at 2:24 PM Wonderful tribute to the little buzzy bee - we couldn't survive without these amazing insects:-) hugs jan xx Barry Stebbings July 4, 2016 at 4:38 PM Thank you, Jan. I think we sometimes forget how dependant we are on even the tiniest of creatures. Barry.

Sandra Haight July 4, 2016 at 7:51 AM Such a great tribute to one of our earth's creatures we seldom think about praising. But they are very important and such hard and dedicated workers, and I like the way you captured that. Nicely done! 7 Sandra Barry Stebbings July 4, 2016 at 4:36 PM Thank you for your appreciation, Sandra, and for the 7. Barry.
