drones are running the hive now


they've killed the Queen with their indolence


they wait for dying bees to bring in their last loads

take all the pollen and nectar they have will enough to take

and then buzz the loudest

when there's no more incoming and no more honey


I don't want to live long enough

to hear the very last bee blare like a final warning...
