about

An exploration of the collective consciousness, The Telling of the Bees is about the ancient customs surrounding beekeeping. In particular, the importance of sharing news with a hive, especially regarding more personal life events, highlighting the importance of the everyday happenings in our lives.

lyrics

I want to show to you the secret
Of the telling of the bees but
You can never tell a soul
Not a soul

All the comings and the goings
Of the bees forever knowing
What you are, what you are
What we are

And the cycles of the soul
Are demanding to be told
To the bees to the bees

Tell of birth and tell of death
On the whisper of a breath
When the moon is overhead

And the Queen will give her blessing
For a marriage and a wedding
If you lay it on the line
On the line
