The Business of Bears and Bees

Buzzing for roars
Stripes for paws

The curious dance
Of the busy and quick
Tangles weighted steps
Of the strong and thick

Such is the business
Of the hummers and hibernated

The delicate small wings
Glimmering, flickering, wafting
Aromas of nectar and honey
Above the furry nosed brute

Always cautious of the hive
Approaching slowly, quiet, and sly
Playing in a wandering tease
Such are the affairs of bears and bees

The luring aroma of combs hung high

Climb for flight, lick for suck

A sweet exchange of bliss
Nature's liquid golden kiss

If buzzing becomes a nuisance

And roars become a warning

Beware nature's subtle cues
Simple signs become askew

Stingers can be felt
And claws preface teeth

But such is the business
Of bears and bees
