The Plight of the Bumble Bee

Hello, I am a buff-tailed bumble bee, But in this fair and pleasant land, I’m dying. Intensive farming methods, can’t you see ? Do not provide the flowers for which I’m sighing. The meadow’s gone, and were that not enough The butterflies and moths are suffering too – So many native plants you’re killing off; Make no mistake, this will impact on you ! When you see me, ‘dozing’ in a flower, I’m helping to produce the crops you need – I zig-zag flower to flower and hour by hour Transport the pollen to produce the seed. Be friendly, plant bee-friendly plants for me – I’ll buzz and be a hive of industry.
