The Bee Carol

Silently on Christmas Eve,
the turn of midnight’s key;
all the garden locked in ice —
a silver frieze —
except the winter cluster of the bees.

Flightless now and shivering,
around their Queen they cling;
every bee a gift of heat;
she will not freeze
within the winter cluster of the bees.

Bring me for my Christmas gift
a single golden jar;
let me taste the sweetness there,
but honey leave
to feed the winter cluster of the bees.

Come with me on Christmas Eve
to see the silent hive —
trembling stars cloistered above —
and then believe,
bless the winter cluster of the bees.

We all wish you well for 2022 Mark .... it might take you a while to take things on board but you seem to get there eventually .... New years resolutions ? Not far off now ... time to have a think.

I'm always thinking, new-years resolutions.
1. Carry on not smoking.
2. Try and not be so old fashioned, and keep myself young in thought and the way I struggle sometimes to parent.
3. Always take a step back with my beekeeping but always be myself going forward with enthusiasm and passion for the love of my professional career.
4. Don't take to much to heart because I'm very easily wound up and bite really easily...
5. Teach my children alot more about beekeeping.
