Life Of A Bee

A bumble bees life, can be easy as the breeze,
Flying about from flower to flower, doing it with ease,
But there are dark things for them, waiting out of sight,
A creature that takes them on fearlessly, and ready for a fight.

One day the humble bumble bee, was flying here and there,
Collecting yummy pollen, to bring back to its lair,
Busy going about his day, seemed to fly without a care,
Didn't see this creatures hive at all, didn't know to be aware.

Returning to it's own hive, the bee delivered it's cargo,
And off and out the hive he went, he knew the way to go,
The creature that was following him, spotted where he went,
And returned to his own nest, the wasp was now hell bent.

The wasp arrived and signalled, bee larvae could be found,
As the wasps launched a big attack, high above the ground,
Led by the wasp that found the hive, they were not far away,
This day a battle would begin, bringing their weapons to the fray.

Just before the wasps arrived, the bees came out in force,
Hoping they would change their minds, but they kept their course,
The bees tried to defend their hive, but the thought of larvae was strong,
But with the wasps formidable pincers,
there were bodies dead before long.

Outside the bottom of the hive, the remnants of the massacre,
The fight didn't take long at all, way under an hour,
The wasps had got their larvae, there was no one left to fight,
They all returned to the wasps nest, there will be a feast tonight.

Are you wondering about the bumble bee, and what was his fate,
He missed the fight and the dramatic end, he sadly came in late,
If he was there on that fateful day, he wouldn't be telling this tale,
But where the life of a bumble bee, is devasted in one glance,
But as long as there is one more left, life will always have a chance.
