Letter "B" » Bees
"The honey-bee that wanders all day long
The field, the woodland, and the garden o'er,
To gather in his fragrant winter store,
Humming in calm content his winter song,
Seeks not alone the rose's glowing breast,
The lily's dainty cup, the violet's lips,
But from all rank and noxious weeds he sips
The single drop of sweetness closely pressed
Within the poison chalice."
Author: Anne Charlotte Lynch Botta
About: Bees
"The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;
A clover, any time, to him
Is aristocracy."
Author: Emily Dickinson
About: Bees
"His labor is a chant,
His idleness a tune;
Oh, for a bee's experience
Of clovers and of noon!"
Author: Emily Dickinson

"Burly, dozing humblebee,
Where thou art is clime for me.
Let them sail for Porto Rique,
Far-off heats through seas to seek.
I will follow thee alone,
Thou animated torrid-zone!"
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson
About: Bees

Sipping only what is sweet,

Leave the chaff, and take the wheat."

"The careful insect 'midst his works I view,
Now from the flowers exhaust the fragrant dew,
With golden treasures load his little thighs,
And steer his distant journey through the skies."
Author: John Gay
About: Bees
"Bees work for man, and yet they never bruise
Their Master's flower, but leave it having done,
As fair as ever and as fit to use;
So both the flower doth stay and honey run."
Author: George Herbert
About: Bees
"For pitty, Sir, find out that Bee
Which bore my Love away
I'le seek him in your Bonnet brave,
I'le seek him in your eyes."
Author: Robert Herrick
About: Bees

Is shining white with fragrant immortelles
Fly swiftly there and drain those honey wells."
