sun kissed wings, glistening bright
glimpses of movement within sight
~
honey bees flitting here, there
tiny beauties carrying pollen with skilled flair
~
bush to bush, flower to flower
working hard, hour by hour
~
busy they must be
pollination, a major key
~
purpose, transferring this golden essence
no life without the bees presence
~
pure honey, another miracle achieved
many gifts we receive
~
where do bees go, when day turns to twilight
a secret, a mystery of the night

With colony collapse a major problem, bees are becoming an endangered species. This is a lovely tribute. …
Dorothy, thank you. I believe most people don’t understand the importance of bees and other pollinating insects.
What a beautiful tribute to honey bees…I loved teaching my kindergarten class about bees and how hard they work. Your pictures are beautiful too!
Gay, after all these years I fondly remember the name and face of my kindergarten teacher. She played the piano for us! I bet your little students remember you! Thank you Gay.
Love your reflections! 🙂
Good Morning LuAnn. I am glad you like my attempts at poetry. Hope things are going well there.
