Just found this through the Guardian,

Bee Journal is a poem-journal of bee-keeping kept over two years, when the author took up beekeeping for the first time. The poems chronicle the life and work of the bees, sketching a relationship between keeper and kept, exploring paradoxes and some moments of revelation.



Has anybody else seen and/or written bee-related poetry?

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.

Not about bee keeping, but there's a bee.

This made me smile

However, the emphasis is on the stinging and the speed, hmm...
