"The Bee's Bayonet (A Little Honey and a Little Sting)" by Edwin Alfred Watrous is a collection of poems written in the early 20th century.

The poems cover various themes, including love, war, and national identity, with a focus on American values and experiences during a tumultuous time. The opening of this collection introduces readers to a playful yet poignant tone as it addresses the author’s dedication to America amidst global unrest. It begins with witty lines suggesting that if the reader finds pleasure in even a single line, the author feels rewarded. Following this, it presents a stirring poem celebrating a strong leader, likening him to an unyielding figure rallying for justice and freedom. The early verses set the stage for a blend of reflection on personal and national identity through the lens of humor, satire, and heartfelt expression, hinting at the exploration of both lighthearted and serious subjects throughout the collection.
