Two Honey Bees in Prairie

Two Honey Bees in Prairie, ‘Lee’ and ‘Tee’

Buzzed around so breezy.

‘Lee’ had long lovely wings, and ‘Tee’ with bright yellow strips

Stop and stare, it’s sweets everywhere!

‘Dear Muffin’, said Lee,

‘Would you Cuff in!’ showing his belly.

‘No No!’ said Tee,

‘We are Bees and need no muffin!’

‘Lee, we were born this morning to sway

From Pupa to adult we stay’,

‘Yes Tee, eyes saw you next to me, and

Queen Bee a little far away,

No moment to stop and say ‘Mommy’

Had to start for the day and search for Honey,

But I feel so different do you feel the same?

Not like those around the Beehive, thriving for ordain.

‘Hello Wood Violet’, said Lee

Do you have some Honey?

‘Oh poor me, said Viola, ‘my pollen -

They were stolen. ‘

Lee & Tee had a tiny heart

Easy to crack and break with a clot.

They had no clue how to boo,

When they see the Queen Bee ask for the dew.

‘Here is a grape, in a beautiful landscape,

We can feast on the fruit it smells so sweet.’

‘No, we are Bees, cant escape,

Stay and learn to sting and burn.’

‘We stung a passant but still alive!

We did nothing much yet got tire!’

‘But I feel so different do you feel the same?

Not like those around the hive, thriving for ordain day and night.’

‘Lee’ & ‘Tee’ Sang together, ‘Hello Cherry, you are pretty, so we swirl around,

We promise to prey you not until you fall to the ground,

We like that you smell as honey,

And we are more than a Bee,

We are special; we feed on honey and anything close.

We are powerful we don’t die after a sting, God has made us special so’

Pretty Cherry whispered to her friend, ‘they seem so nice,

Lets not reveal they are Fruit Flies’
