I have a backyard garden
which blooms flowers year-round.
mint, mustard, hollyhock,
arugula, globe artichoke
Coreopsis, desert sunflower
nasturtium, chilli, larkspur
and so many more.
Honeybees visit
to collect nectar and pollen.
Such joy to see them—
hovering from flower to flower,
covered in yellow powder
with pollen baskets on their thighs.
We stay silent
and listen to the buzz—
such meditative peace!
They are tiny,
but such role models.
Hard work and dedication
their life philosophy.
So proud to create
a pollinator garden
and serve the honeybees!
