Analysis of B for bee
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
B for bumble bee
Buzzing in the flowerpot
Bumping into colorful petals
Basking in the floral fragrance
B for angry bee
Buzzing angrily!
Banging against the pane
Betrayed into illusory freedom
B for the army bee
Brandishing its sting
Bravely guarding the honeycomb
Banishing intruders with a sting
B for diligent bee
Busy fending for nectar
Bolting from one flower to another
Breathlessly working hard
B for the worker bee
Born to toil!
Bustling hither and thither
Between jobs without pause
B for the queen bee
Breeding in seclusion
Big sleek well-fed royal
Born to perpetuate the race…
Bee for B
