20 Years a Snow Bee


I have spent most of the morning

Rescuing Snow Bees from the winter’s dust

It is a tiring pastime as sometimes they are deeply hidden

As with most creatures the snow slowly suffocates them

Or if they are lucky they freeze to death

My success rate is only one in six

Which is rather low considering where I live

At present six bees are recovering in front of my fire

There was seven but one flew into the flames about an hour ago

This was distressing but I was told that the creature had suicidal thoughts

My name is Jack B and I live with my sister Jane B

Jane and I are both twenty-eight  having been born on the same day of the same year

We have been rescuing Snow Bees for the past twenty years here in the city of Bath
