Mind Your Bees

Mind your Bees


Buzz
Sting
Ouch 

Sweet honey, bumble and killer bee
Nectar of Yellow catkins  
Abandoned boroughs 
High mountain meadows 
And hollow trees
Nests expand 
Turn away if occupied 
Rival of bird 
Of mouse

A colony emerges 
Bee mousse, a worm like parasite  
Eat their nest, food and larvae 
As does brown bear 
It’s worst of foe
Sniffs for gold
And devours all its substance holds 

A deep sleep in winter months 
A spring awakening 
Survival a test of time 
Bees collapse to the ground with autumn fronds
