Poem: "That Is the Question"
This poem came from the May 7, 2013 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by a prompt from technogeekslass. It has been sponsored by technoshaman. You can read more about bee pollination and colony collapse disorder online.
That Is the Question
To be
or not two bee --
one out of every three
bites of food we eat comes
from crops pollinated by bees.
If the colonies continue to collapse
then so, too, will civilization
as others have before.
Without the ecology,
there can be no
economy.
