lace of purple
lavender whimsy
dabble the lush spring grass
while the sun’s resplendent rays
herald the start of summer days
as birds and bees and bugs gently laze

TO BEE OR NOT TO BEE
This is one job I would suck at!
Worker bees are the laborers of the behive. They are all female (figures!) and do not breed (fuck that!).
Their jobs include collecting the pollen and nectar, defending the hive, feeding the queen, drones and larvae, and making the wax (is that all?).
Because they work so hard during the busy season, a summertime worker bee will live for only about six weeks. Six weeks!! Maybe that’s a blessing in disguise.
Worker bees have a stinger but they can only sting mammals once and then they die (oh, the humanity!). They can, however, sting other insects over and over again to protect the hive (hell, yeah!).
That’s the only fun part! Die, bitches!! 🐝 😎
