A poem from my first book in honour of World Bee Day 2020!
There is one tiny thing
That makes our
Forests sing
On the wing
Keeping our gardens
In rich organic bling
It’s small and humble
Sometimes it may fumble
But from plant to plant
This great hero does tumble
Although contrary to popularity
It does have no knees
Its that thing you see
And think ‘don’t get near me’
Fretting as this garden hero
Brings only blessings
You could even say
He’s a natural sweetie
This garden friend
Helps so very much
And one with which we
Should always keep in touch
I do love you sincerely
Dear little Bee
