Gardening with Happy Bees
…for so work the honey-bees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom
-Henry V, I.ii.87-89
A bumblebee hovers in front of my face
No hostility; it’s simply greeting me
As I putter from *** to place to *** again
Messing contentedly with seedlings and soil
But honeybees race around me in formation
No hostility; they’re ignoring me
They speed from water to flower to hive and back –
After all, every flower needs a little love (wink)
Blessed spring hovers softly everywhere
As bee-sy bees sing their sweetest airs
