I share my home with stingless bees
From five tubes of wax come melodies
A hypnotic hum from in foundation\'s step
Quiet drumbeats a secret kept
Born sun\'s golden, sticky rays
Rhapsody on cellophane wings plays
Lullabies drift on silken breeze
Miniscule hovering, honey trustees
The bee a life of harmony
Matriarchy divine sisterhood benign
To others devoted unity promoted
Not honey, harmony mystery of the bee
How they keep this way no one can say, its hidden in the hive
Community takes priority this way the individual will survive
