Last year our garden was buzzing with bees

And butterflies too

This year

We’re down to a few

Where are the bees?

I’ll wait for the marjoram flowers to start before I completely lose heart

Last year they were alive and humming

Busy bees were busy buzzing

Gathering pollen til laden down

The very busiest bees in town

It’s quiet out there and the bats have gone

Tell me its not a sign of what’s to come

But just a function of a cold wet spring

Bring back the bees. Bring bring
