July 27th

sacks of pollen gold

weigh down the bumble worker

the precious labours

Poor bumble bees haven’t got long to live now. The seasons nearly up. They are amazing animals, their ability to fly in the first place due to the incredible muscle strength of their wings. And the big pollen baskets they carry on their legs, which they eat in their nests. They seem somehow impossible. It’s all about sharing for them, makes me wonder what this planet would be like if a hive animal became the sentient species. All your base are belong to us!

Love Bees. And touch wood, I’ve never been stung by one.
