Honey Bee

Jesus made honey for me

Drip, drop, drip

Let's take a dip

It's so sweet

We can have it as a treat.

Honey on bread

Can I use it as a spread?

How did it come about

Let's find out

It's from the creator of the bees, birds

and trees

The pleasant taste from the flower

oh wow it's like no other.

We'll have great fun

Licking fingers till it's all done.

oh candy I give up on you

My honey is here to the rescue!

BUFFALO

There are two types of buffalo - the African and the Asian Water buffalo. They are dark grey or black and look like bulls. The African buffalo is a large animal that can reach 2-3.4 meters (6.8-11 feet) in length, 0.7-1.7 meters (3.2-5.6 feet) in height and weigh between 300-861 kilograms (660 and 1900 pounds).

They feed mainly on grass; when grass is scarce, they may shrubs and trees. The African buffaloes live in large herds which can include up to a thousand buffaloes usually. When they are smaller they will form a circle around the young, old, and weak buffaloes. This strategy is very effective in preventing predators from reaching buffaloes that are not strong enough to fight. African buffaloes have poor eyesight and hearing but have an excellent sense of smell.
