about
This song was initially inspired by the story of the mythical 'world tree' Yggdrasil. The Bees lived under the tree and turned the dew from its branches into honey, which the Gods drank to gain wisdom and creativity.... this and the plight of our dissapearing honeybees were the triggers for the song, but of course it kind of turned into something more personal as well.
lyrics
Bees and Gods

I hear the Bees live under ground
In a paradise found
I hear the bees they make their living
At great personal cost
I hear the gods they look down laughing
I hear the gods
They want the lot

Gold in the ground
Sealed with a lock of sound
Gods on the make
With their thundering tales of
Take and take and take

I hear the Bees they like their stories
To have great personal weight
I hear they like
To hear your visions of what might pass
And what is fate
I’ll tell the Bees
I can’t stop the Gods
I’ll the Bees about……

Such a long story
Of plunder and wonder
And everything in between
And sometimes when you give
The gods only take
And take and take and take
