The Honeybee’s Song Within the bloom, the honeybee, A tireless worker, wild and free, Her humble song, a sweet delight, As petals sway in warm sunlight.

With grace, she flits from bloom to bloom, In hues of gold, dispelling gloom, In every sip, her labor’s prize, A gift of nectar, love’s sweet ties.

O little bee, oh wondrous sight, In your soft dance, the world feels right, For in your toil, there’s joy and worth, A testament to life on earth.

So let us celebrate your flight, In harmony with nature’s light, For in each drop, we come to see, The sweetness of our unity.
