Bees I know are living in honeycomb
Igloos, banning fossil fuels and greenhouse
Gas, suturing the wounds in the ozone
Maybe the bees will come home soon
You will know they are back when
Smoke fills your lungs and there is a lingering
Taste of honey on your tongue
Even the beekeepers don't know where they went
Research will not help, for the bees are in outer space
You can believe what you like, of course
