The Biggest Bumblebee

I saw the biggest bumblebee
That I have ever seen
And so I guessed, quite naturally,
It must have been the queen.

She hovered, with some smaller bees,
Above some garden blooms,
Demanding some obeisance
From the workers, one assumes.

But since I’m not an expert,
Maybe she was not in charge 
And they were all acquaintances 
With one just extra large.

I recently went to a talk on bees - most fascinating subject, sounds like it was the queen with her loyal drones who will die after mating with her!:-) hugs jan xx
