bee & butterfly,
 drawn to the same fragrant bloom,
  work in harmony.

the bee wallows 
 in pollen like a drunk
  sprawls on a bar’s floor.

the sunflower
 catches warm afternoon sun, 
  but bees aren’t impressed.

bee-eater sits still --
 not searching, not flitting:
  worried of bee's plight?

lurch & stop:
 the bee moves erratically
  amid yellow blooms.

a bee hovers
 between two wildflowers,
  in a quandary.

flowers dip
 under a bee’s weight, 
  but spring back.

honey bee at work
 on flowers still dripping 
   from Spring showers.

upside-down bees
work frenetically 
in the plush depths

bees huddle
in uncountable numbers;
i watch, alone
