His labor is a chant,

His idleness a tune;

Oh, for a bee's experience

Of clovers and of noon!

From The Bee by Emily Dickinson

BEE QUOTES

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

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.

Marcus Aurelius

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.
Mary Kay Ash

Even bees, the little alms-men of spring bowers, know there is richest juice in poison-flowers.
John Keats

Bees work for man, and yet they never bruise

Their Master's flower, but leave it having done,

As fair as ever and as fit to use;

So both the flower doth stay and honey run.

George Herbert - The Church
