You showed up in my garden Striped coat, March 22 Dancing on the clover In the springtime afternoon You moved from bloom to blossom Busy with your small affairs Leaving little bits of pollen Everywhere, Everywhere Honeybee, Little pollinator You turn the wild into sweet Honey maker, Tiny creator Spinning gold from what you eat You don't ask for any favor You just hum and you just be But you're building me a future Honeybee, Honeybee You trace a map in circles Over marigolds and thyme Reading every petal Like a page line by line I used to miss the small things Now I wait for you each day Watching how a busy worker maintains the world like it's just play Honeybee, Little pollinator You turn the wild into sweet Honey maker, Tiny creator Spinning gold from what you eat You don't ask for any payment You just hum and you just be But you're working in my garden Honeybee, Honeybee When the harvest comes in autumn And the colors start to change I remember all your buzzing And your magic, oh so strange I see the product of your labor your efforts aren't ignored the lemons and the berries growing with the summer corn O Honeybee, yellow pollinator You turn the wild into sweet Honey maker, Tiny creator Spinning gold for me to eat You don't ask for any payment You just buzz and you just be But you're working in my garden Honeybee, Honeybee
