Cloud of life

A small squadron of honey bees is spotlit on a sunny green
stage, some coming home with a load of pollen,
others setting out to forage, hovering and tumbling,
a buzzing, yellow cloud of life.

    And like all Americans, Pete, they are immigrants, European honey bees brought here originally by colonists in the 17th and 18th century.

    Bees forage hot
    bees forage cold
    bees forage in the hive
    to fill the honey mold.
