Wallace Bee

Alfred Wallace, a scientist,
In 1859 did find
The largest bee known to exist -
Two to three inch wing span designed.
But then this bee just disappeared.
Bee followers thought it extinct,
Never to show again 'twas feared,
The Wallace bee gone - quite succinct.
Fast forward to 2018
For 9000 bucks on eBay,
The Wallace bee was once more seen
Alive and well and on display.

To Wallace bee or not to bee,
Its survival will not be free.
