Secrets of the Beehive

I know we've been down this road before...but I felt compelled given the recent Bee connections being tied to Israel (as they cross into Syria). BIG props to A Kean Eye for crossing these bridges already. (see his June Archives)

Mysterious Honeybee Disappearance Linked to Rare Virus

3,000-Year-Old beehives unearthed in Israel

"Johnny Appleseed" by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros

Theme to John from Cincinnati

Lord, there goes Johnny Appleseed
He might pass by in the hour of need
There's a lot of souls
Ain't drinking from no well locked in a factory

Hey - look there goes
Hey - look there goes
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

Lord, there goes Martin Luther King
Notice how the door closes when the chimes of freedom ring
I hear what you're saying, I hear what he's saying
*Is what was true now no longer so

Hey - I hear what you're saying
Hey - I hear what he's saying
If you're after getting the honey - hey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

What the people are saying
And we know every road - go, go
What the people are saying
There ain't no berries on the trees

Let the summertime sun
Fall on the apple - fall on the apple

Lord, there goes a Buick forty-nine
Black sheep of the angels riding, riding down the line
We think there is a soul, we don't know
That soul is hard to find

Hey - down along the road
Hey - down along the road
If you're after getting the honey
Then you don't go killing all the bees

Hey - it's what the people are saying
It's what the people are saying
Hey - there ain't no berries on the trees
Hey - that's what the people are saying, no berries on the trees
You're checking out the honey, baby
You had to go killin' all the bees

And David Sylvian's "Pollen Path" from the album "Dead Bees on a Cake"

welcome me father on the North shores of Lapland
welcome me father who knows no name
welcome me mother the earth here is yawning

my body is shaking for want of a flame

down here
got to laugh
the kickback is ligtening

drowning
got to laugh
this whole mess is frightening


a follower of the pollen path
the pollen path

welcome me father
the lava is rising
welcome me mother
and give me your name

we've drunk from this wellspring
too too long
dividing the hours
to measure the time


we've lived with this heartache
too too long
numbering what's yours what's mine

we've harbored this sadness so long

nursing a voice
just sing us our songs
raising a voice
to sing our songs

R.I.P Joe & John from Cincinnati (Jesus F'n Christ) Thanks for Killing all the Bees HBO
Have a great weekend everybody!
