Sweet Honey Bee
Poetry
by Anne G
Genus Apis
insect extraordinaire
perennial pollinator,
sweet honey bee.
Imagine a world
without flowers and trees,
succulent fruits,
honey and tea.
Numbers diminished,
causes unknown;
planetary awareness,
global concern.
Unexplained
mystery,
consequences
unknown.
Pivotal propagators
of crops, plants and trees;
natural laborers
queen’s worker bees.
They toil round the clock,
manufacturing gold;
beeswax for candles,
honey for food.
Blossom to blossom,
flowering fields;
gathering nectar
to bring to the nest.
Tireless worker,
exemplary bee;
creator of species,
of beautiful deeds.
The future uncertain,
the fruitful earth bleak;
if the sweet honey bee
disappears from the earth.
