Beetles and Bees

by Treischel



These beetles and bees,
Prodigious pollinators.
Bring sting on the wing?






5-7-5 Poetry Contest contest entry


Answer:
The Goldenrod Soldier Beetle - no, it is a bee imitator, but is harmless.
The Bumblebee - maybe, if you bother it, especially its nest.

Nectar and pollin provided by Thistle.


For the contest. I saw nothing in the rules against artwork, punctuation, capitalization, alliteratiion, or rhyme. Included them all. Apologies to the Japanese.
