The Hornet's Nest

I see a nest
 a hornet's nest
 right on a mango tree
 full of  buzzing bees
 the mangoes would turn ripe
could see the yellow stripes
the bees clamour around
they penetrate with a bound
 suck the delicious juice
 signal a truce
 go into their nest
 where the final test
 proceeds in all mirth
 settle the  honey in berths
 the honey combs swell swiftly
 turn heavy with a nectar  slowly
a beautiful sight to watch
the work culture is one of catch.
