Hi Darlene, bees will only sting when they feel threatened. I hope you like their honey:) Regards // paul

so CUTE. Too bad she did not do a bigger list. This should be in a top ten list!

I agree with you re having a longer list, though mine would still have been eliminated since I gave it a title! Thanks for liking:) Regards // paul

It would be a tough choice, Paul. But I would probably choose the honey also. Lovely haiku. Should do well. Good luck!
