Two Bumble Bees came wandering by
On this frosty Christmas morning
Alighting on the cyclamen
This icy winter morning
Returning every noonday
On chilly January mornings
I dearly hope they both survive
Till warmer springtime mornings
Thanks Jon and Big Sal for the likes and B S for the nice comment.
This really happened (last Christmas!) and I was so surprised cos I didn't know they were active in winter.

That last couplet sums up the hope for all life this winter.
Many cold nights and animals within them.
Subtle but emotion-provoking piece.?

They might survive but usually they raise dormant larvae to replace themselves. But pesticides are gradually diminishing their race.?
