Best Bumblebees Poems

butterflies and bumblebees 
egg yolks on toast 
mustard fields and pots of gold 
sunflower seeds to roast 

ringlets fall lightly 
from a little girl so fair 
ornaments of golden wings 
fall softly from her hair
  
banana peels to slip and fall 
that would be...

flit from flower to flower --
a soft breeze blows

Fat bumblebees work
on pink hydrangea blossom.
Pollen-stuffed britches.

Days grow shorter, blossoms fade.
Honey enough for the winter?...

I was a lad of seven

When attacked by bumblebees

Those little fellers bite me

Since I chose to run!


They were provoked I admit

By my Pappy pulling stumps

The moral is stand don't run

Else dear Vie you're stung

Bumblebees kiss Lamb's Ear
Drink nectar from tiny blossoms
I dare not go too near
For their sting is very awesome

Inspired by Brian Strand's latest contest

holey wooden stake
meek bumblebees weave about
bumbles a cupped hand

I think, every once in a while
We are made to bend backwards until we snap in half
I think, I would have less of an issue with that
If I knew why I broke so easy....

Spring thaw brings her out of hibernation 
She’s looking for a burrow to call home
To build cups of nectar near a mountain
She is a queen, and more than just a drone.

Black fur, and yellow cover their bodies
As they fly to all the wild flowers
The rainbow...

I've never seen a Bumblebee
Lose a fight with a Snapdragon
No, not ever!
Each time they meet
That painted prince of prowess
Pries open the dragon's jaws
And deftly crawls inside
To win the blooming battle
To steal the coveted prize. 

In fact, no brazen bromide
Can subdue that cheery bumbler
That fuzzy buzzing,...

A Monotetra

You may see a fluttering bee,
in the forest, or on a leaf,
of some sweet and gummy tree;
leave him be, leave him be.

Perhaps he’ll hum around a flower,
in some green and mossy bower;
that little bee has oh, such power;
leave him be, leave him be.

He may...

In the barn turned snack bar,
I scraped the face of my big toe
ascending the stairs. I didn’t care.
Sucrose sweets, summertime treats
belonged between my loosening teeth

Rotting wood, bumblebees
yellow plastic baseball bats
rolling hills flowed in the break of trees
God was shaking the dust out of his welcome...
