The Queen Bee


The queen bee

royal jelly she eats.

Six years she lives,

laying 1000 eggs a day!


Three months lives

the drone;

Two months,

the working bee.


Pollen, honey

and royal jelly they eat

as they work incessantly

during daylight.


They dance in front of the hive

giving information about where to find

the ingredients they need

to make the honey sweet!
