Golden treasures I contain,
Guarded by hundreds and thousands.
Stored in a labyrinth where no man walks,
Yet men come often to seize my gold.
By smoke I am overcome and robbed,
Then left to build my treasure anew.

wonderful! Good job!
A smart bee. Great work
nice riddle ..i actually got this one
I think this is a very good riddle but I still got it right!!
I thought it would be coal. Because by golden treasure, I thought it would precious like gold. Guarded by hundreds and thousands would be the rocks that surround it. Stored in a labryinth where no man walks could be because of how deep within the place it is contained. By smoke I am overcome and robbed would be the fireworks and the TNT that they use to blow up the entrance. And then left to build my treasure anew would be after a hundred or thousands of years the coal could renew itself.
i thought it would be a pyramid
I thought it would have been a pyramid too but when it got to the part about smoke and rebuilding treasures I got confused. Excelent riddle though.
Mmm... honey...
That's treasure enough for me!
Great teaser!

I thought it was a pyramid.
I thought it was computer related... golden treasures were electrons storing data, guarded by hundreds and thousands were the binary 1s and 0s of the encryption... No man walked there, duh, it's all virtual... I had no rationalization for the smoke. You got me... good one.
The smoke was a dead giveaway. Beekeepers use smoke to dull the bees senses while they collect the honeycomb
Great Teaser! and Yay! I got this one, and right off too

that was okay
that was cute and the clues were right on...very good
I didn't guess it... that was a really good one! Nice job!
Very fun..one I got right off!
Wonderful!
too easy
I thought the answer was slot machine -Guarded by the cameras and pit bosses in a smoke filled casino, when it pays out, it starts collecting coins again. Good teaser. Fun
Didn't get the option for a hint, but I doubt I would have got it. I'm not the brightest of the bunch
Very, sweet. This one I got right away, which really made my day! Don't always like to have to think too hard, and call it fun!
This one is soooooo old... but still good.
Yea, filetmerlot
that was the first thing i thought of, also.
Then i remembered watching (from many yards away) an old farmer that was a friend of the family using smoke to drive the bees away long enough for him to pull the combs out to retrieve that sweet golden goop.

ithought this meant a safe. Guess I should have read it better
Very interesting and clever. I didn't get it, but once I saw the answer, I enjoyed it very much!
Very cute, but a little too easy
never thought of that
heheh

heheh
good one
Well, It was good, but I thought it was like some kinda house or building or something, Like fort knox

Great one!...But isn't it the Bee who is overcome? and can a beehive rebuild itself? lol....I got the idea though, and was well entertained.
OK

This one was really a good one, good use of figurative language, my kids will luv it,I did!
A sweet teaser. Got it right!
A very good teaser! The clue about the smoke really helped me to guess the right answer! Leet's have some more like that one!
VERY, VERY GOOD RIDDLE! MORE, PLEASE!
I finally got it at the smoke part; the answer just jumped out at me then. That was a really great teaser, thanks!
Clever. Easy, but clever.
A honey of a riddle. Good job.
Nice teaser. I didn't get it, but after reading the answer it was like "Of course, makes perfect sense." Thanks for posting.
Very well written, going into my favorites.
I enjoyed this one even though I got it wrong. All I could think of was Fort Knox, and I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't see past that. This one was a forehead slapper. Very good ! Thanks !
i luv my honey ! nice riddle and i actually got it !
This time I got it right away.

Nice Teaser.
Good one. I didn't know until I got to the line about smoke, then I got it!
Very good!
Wow, this ones only been on here for 8 1/2 years. Wow it's almost new!!!
I can't believe I still didn't get this one. Have a great week-end to G & K
Doehead, we get your point. You have seen most of these before, but some of us have not, and enjoy them. Do you keep coming on here to hope for a new one? Some I have seen in 2011 and I just skip them and don't bother to comment unless I have forgotten and tried to work them again. This one was new to me and I enjoyed it. Have a good day!
Sweet! I got this one. The smoke line gave it away for me.
Not sure I would have got this one had it ot been for a recent trip to a local apiary.
Another forehead slapping teaser. Once I read the answer it became so clear *slaps forehead again*
Uhhhh.... That one was too easy.... The "smoke" and "having to rebuild" part gave it out....
Nice one anyway!!
Nice one anyway!!
excellent!! very well written; a bit simple though
Fun, easy and enjoyable teaser; I got it right and have never seen it before though it's a repeat.
That was excellent! I didn't get it, but the answer was a definite "duh"!
