This is a very well composed haiku, Ulla.
Lines one and two show a distinct grammatical connection and concrete imagery.
Your syllable count, in English as opposed to Japanese "Kanji" (sounds), is well within the seventeen syllables or less the form requires.
It is written in the here and now, or in present tense if you prefer, and captures an observable moment in nature.
Your satori is a clever brief observation of the two-lined phrase of your haiku which comes before it.
Well done, an excellent addition to the book...

I love the image you chose to support and stand for your haiku. So bright, vivid, beautiful and inviting. Waiting for the bees to come and drink that nectar of life. Excellent work, my friend. With love, Ella

This is lovely, Ulla. I really admire the way you have tackled your writing occupation once you've made up your mind. You get some lovely ideas for haiku, but remember one thing they need to capture, is a 'moment in time.' I hope I can find the time now to do a little more in the poetry field, Giddy :-)

Ulla, I really like this haiku challenge poetry. Great picture as the first line tells me what your subject is with second line is connected through where they are and what they are doing. Finishing with a strong satori telling what these bees mean to the cycle of life. Well done my friend,,,,,,,,,,Jim

Very, very nice work with this haiku. I have always loved MoonWillow's artwork, and she is a great poet too. I admire your ability to take on these challenges...I don't dare.

Good job with word economy, Ulla. You made each syllables count. I love the images you painted with your words, particlulary in the first two lines. Also, the alliteration was effectively used. Lastly, the essence of the poem was summarized in your final line.
Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. :)

You could not have chosen a topic closer to my heart! As an extension master gardener, I am terrified that we will be unable to repopulate our bees. Without them, the birds can't survive. Without them, humans won't survive!
Your final line 'nectar of life' is a fundamental truth!

Hi There, thank you so much and for your wonderful stars. I feel like you. They are so important to all life on earth and it is frightening how they are starting to die. Thank you so much again. All the best. Ulla:)))

Very nice - flitter in flowers, busy bees buzz.
I could see and hear them among the flowers.
Very good. I can't really critique a haiku, but I know what I like. 8-)
