Honey Makers

No flower suits a bee for very long.
Bees are impatient, energetic things,
Questing, testing, almost never wrong
In choosing msctar for those fairy wings!

They’re scratching when the autumn flowers close;
They itch until the first spring one arrives.
It is presumptious of me, I suppose,
To ask if this is caused from having hives?
