Cute and furry honey bee,
buzzing as it should be,
dancing over the hive,
toiling in order to survive
They have each role to play
busy during the day
but drift off to slumber at night
to take a rest when the sun is out of sight
Cute and furry honey bee,
a fabulous flyer as you can see
capabilities so extraordinary
for they produce the purest honey

Was this influenced by Emily Dickinson? She was such a fan of bees too

No. I was reading Walt Whitman’s poems before writing this. I’m a fan of bees too. I mentioned them in my WIP novel.
