pollen
bright yellow
on the knees of the bees
the secret
powering
flower to fruit
golden harvest
the quiet
humming
at the heart
of our world

Co-incidentally, Melissa, Poet with a Day Job had a poem about bees (and two others) published recently in this Joy and Ride, why not pop over and read them here, you'll be glad you did!
