Did you know that the bees are disappearing? According to an article in the Washington Post, honeybees are vanishing. No one knows why. No one even knows where they are going. There are no piles of dead bees anywhere, but hives are empty. There is some concern because agriculture depends on bees for pollination; and, if the bees are leaving, what species will be checking out next?
Do I have a poem for the situation?
Of course.
Emily Dickinson
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
