Courting honeybees —
blossoms consummate the past
their future assured.

The irony
is that we kill
our honeybees
by using reckless
pesticides
to grow our produce
better, bigger,
free of bugs
and then at pollination time
we wonder where
the bees have gone.
Whatever in the name
of veggie stew
can we be thinking?
