.
when the bees stream
around their hives
watch out for snow
beware of showers
.
some bees like rattles
so their keepers
beat pots and pans
to call them to the hives
.
a hive gives
new meaning
to flowers
.
after a few days
without its hive
a honeybee
dies of loneliness
.
spring honey
is sweeter than
autumn honey
.
a bee
shoogles
out from
inside
the fox-
glove
.
sea
on the flowering
mountain
salt
in the honey-
comb
.
love is
honey voiced
with a heart
of gall
.
honey heals
wounds & burns
around their hives
watch out for snow
beware of showers
.
