Bee Thoughts
“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.”
― Emily Dickinson“The keeping of bees is like the direction of sunbeams.”
― Henry David Thoreau“Every saint has a bee in his halo.”
― Elbert Hubbard“The bee is domesticated but not tamed.”
― William Longgood“Such bees! Bilbo had never seen anything like them."
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit“Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers.”
― Ray Bradbury“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”
― Maurice Maeterlinck, The Life of the Bee
