“ ... the bee collects nectar and departs without
injuring the flower, or its color or fragrance .... "

                                Quote from _ Quotefancy


I am a bee and my life is an eternal struggle
each day I need nectar and pollen to survive
I also need water-   but I have found a haven
a bee friendly city garden created with love
oh, I don't mind sharing it with butterflies
and hummingbirds, I know they need food too !

I have watched the young women planting
she is so calm and tranquil and knows
exactly what I like.  How did she know that
I cannot see red, but love purple and yellow
and I don't mind blue and white, but no red !

She has created a sweet garden of delight
with purple coneflowers, black eyed susan
sunflowers, daisies, lupines, zinnias, phlox
yarrow, asters and even herbs that I love
like rosemary, oregano, basil and chives,
of course, in reality I do not know their names !

One day, I made a mistake and flew inside
an open door, I was in a daze and was buzzing
but she did not hurt me but cupped her hands
and carried me back outside and placed me
gently on a purple coneflower, that was nice !

She even considered that we need to drink
and has given us a bird bath of clean water
well, I have to share it with the butterflies 
and birds, ever seen a hummingbird take a bath !

Oh, I love my wildflower haven  . . .
