I’m thinking of becoming a beekeeper

A good friend said to me.

I asked why she’d want to do that

Build an apiary

There are lots of flowering plants here

A honeybee paradise

That’s a very good idea I said

Very sound and wise

I am kind of hesitant she said

Scared of possible stings

When harvesting the honey

Despite protective clothing

Well I guess there’s only one question to ask

An obvious one to me

And what is that she asked as I smiled and said

To bee or not to bee?
