The buzzing bees perform their daylight show.
With dances air, in flight from bloom to bloom,
They weave through petals, dispelling gloom.

Collecting nectar, more precious than gold.

Through fields of clover, white and pink and red,
On steady course, by fragrant scents they're led.
Their labor feeds the earth, in silent cheer,
A testament to life, year after year.
