ever so busy (here)

busy bee airborne
sweet goodness an attraction
nature's way invoked
we not freely visiting
restrained safety insisting

  2. There is a fine line between protection and imprisonment. I like the contrast you draw between the bee's life and ours.

  3. I was outside today and I saw some bumble bees feasting on sweet nectar, buzzing from flower to flower and I couldn't help but think we humans have lost some of the nectar of life.
