Bees

Famous quotes containing the word bees:

    We say
    This changes and that changes. Thus the constant
    Violets, doves, girls, bees and hyacinths
    Are inconstant objects of inconstant cause
    In a universe of inconstancy.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    As bees their sting, so the promiscuous leave behind them in each encounter something of themselves by which they are made to suffer.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    A swarm of bees in May
    Is worth a load of hay;
    A swarm of bees in June
    Is worth a silver spoon;
    A swarm of bees in July
    Is not worth a fly.
    —Unknown. A Swarm of bees in May (l. 1–6)
