Beekeeping Demo at Tower Hill
Dearly beloved we gather today as much sweetness
as we may, extracting amber hexagon trays
from stacked white boxes.
There they are:
architects, nurses, nannies,
dancers, guards and undertakers:
kneading the meadow’s bouquets into bee’s bread,
dancers, guards and undertakers:
kneading the meadow’s bouquets into bee’s bread,
honey in with pollen,
filling the coffers.
Seal all under gold wax. Ambrosia before dying.
