about

A song for my Dad, and inspired by remembering him talking to the bee keeper at Cambridge Botanic Gardens

lyrics

the man who keeps the bees

the man who keeps the bees
wheels the hive through the trees
to a new spot where they'll thrive, the hive, the bees

the man who keeps the bees
stops to talk with such ease
to my old Dad, the walk, the talk, the bees

the buzz of a gentle worker bee
pulling nectar making honey
these are the lazy days
these are the lazy days

the man who keeps the bees
is content with what he sees
as the new queen flies the scent, content, the bees

the man who keeps the bees
knows it's real, their industry
keeping all life, the deal, it's real, the bees
