Golden Buzz of Summer
- Andy F
Amidst petals soft as dawn’s first blush
Where sun-kissed blooms sway and hush
The honeybee dances, a golden sprite
In gardens where time takes flight.
Tiny wings hum secrets to the breeze
A symphony of purpose, life’s sweet tease
They sip nectar from floral chalices
Crafting liquid gold with gentle kisses.
Their dance, a map etched in air
Guiding them to hive and lair
Through meadows ablaze with hues
They weave tales of sun and dews.
In amber chambers, hexagonal cells
They store the essence of floral spells
A treasure trove of summer’s yield
A testament to nature’s silent field.
And when the days grow shorter, cool
They huddle close, a living jewel
Their hum a lullaby for autumns sleep
As honey drips from memories deep.
So raise a cup to these tireless souls
The architects of sweetness, life’s bold scrolls
For in their golden buzz, we find delight
A whispered promise of endless flight.

Content little bee
Suns herself on a flower
Covered in pollen
Golden wings alight
Buzzing hymns in sun-kissed blooms
Life’s sweet dance unfolds
- Melina C
Bees buzz through the fields
Gathering precious cargo
For people to use

Busy need buzz by
Hive minds in sweet honeyed quest
Pollen or not, bee
- Xavier C
Be like a bee bee-cause they bee the buzz!
