Description: Includes a piano reduction for rehearsal purposes or concert support. Moderate difficulty. No extremes of range. Follows the lifecycle of the bumble bee. Each bumble bee queen must carefully select a new nest site after emerging from winter dormancy. For the first few weeks of spring, she must divide her time between laying eggs, gathering and preparing nectar and pollen, and warming and caring for her new offspring. If her nest site proves to be too far from a continual succession of blooms in early spring, her babies will succumb to the cold while she is away from the nest gathering food for them. Until the first generation of workers are old enough to take over some of the tasks of caring for the group, and the riot of summer flowers makes food supplies more sure, her nest's survival is tenuous. A pollinator theme for a concert organized around environment and nature.
