A hive of activity
\nDoes spring to mind
\nAn incredible cycle of souls
\nTheir givenness exploited
\nBy man unkind
\nWho takes on a brute
\nOf the roles<\/p>\n
Each Bee apparently
\nIt Knows its role
\nAnd gives its
\nUndying support and their soul
\nTwo kinds of food
\nAre required in the hive
\nThe honey from nectar
\ncollected from flowers
\nAnd each gives many hours
\nThe other is pollen
\nFrom the anthers of flowers
\nLots of small grains
\nWith innumerable powers<\/p>\n
So we can identify
\nBees that find pollen
\nAnd others the sugary juice
\nWhich is stored in their stomachs
\nIt is precious something that I must adduce
\nIf she gets hungry she can open
\nA valve and the rich energy
\nIts very hard work flying here
\nFlying there
\nAnd this sugary juice aids the qi<\/p>\n
She is an amazing example
\nOf industry, planning and more
\nShe is heavy but can carry almost her own weight
\nIn pollen in baskets for sure
\nThere isn’t a aeroplane up in the sky
\nThat can carry its own weight
\nAnd be able to fly
\nBut the Bee does this
\nAnd fly back everyday
\nA remarkable being
\nIn everyway<\/p>\n
The nectar is passed to one of the Bees
\nAnd is processed by others
\nMouth to mouth they seize
\nThe moment reducing the moisture content
\nAnd it becomes honey
\nYes heaven sent<\/p>\n
Some goes to the cells
\nBefore mouth to mouth and
\nIts then capped with wax
\nWe must understand
\nIts made for their babies
\nAll that rich protein
\nIs just what is needed
\nAnd its ethically green<\/p>\n
For one jar of honey
\nSome 300 bees will be working
\nTheir socks off
\nThats just to please
\nFor nearly a month
\nAll that foraging and we
\nJust steal it all
\nThinking we are a Bee<\/p>\n
And remember its food for the baby
\nAs such
\nSo eating it ourselves
\nIts really too much
\nIncredibly sweet
\nHow selfish we be
\nTaking it out of the mouths of the wee<\/p>\n
The wee ones the babies
\nWe should by now
\nTake on vegan principles
\nAnd so know how<\/p>\n
There are malt syrups
\nBarley and rice
\nThere is Amasake
\nThats incredibly nice
\nSo really no reason
\nTo always take away
\nThe food for bee babies<\/p>\n
So my thought for the day <\/p>\n
Commercial honey making is killing the bees
\nAlong with so many environmental stresses
\nWe must understand their predicament and be less greedy
\nRealising it is bee food for infants thus much too extreme food for us. Be sensitive to the creatures that support
\nUs. please<\/p>\n
Its also most of it not even honey in the true sense
\nIts HMF content making it no better than refined syrups
\nFrom sugar cane<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
