Remains of Extinct Bee Discovered

                                                                                                 National Geographic

 
A sleepin' bee,
Rip Van Winkle striped,
Caught so many Z's,
His genetic welcome's spent
Orchidaceous pollen puff
Upon bumble's back,
Had forshaken viridian tines,
And labellum, sweet
Resin appeared to bee
--A pool, teardropt,
Dollop of syrup, familial--
But 'twas an amber robe,
Eon weft
