I’m an American beekeeper in the north I happened to come across this by chance. If you ever read this thank you what a beautiful song and a beautiful voice. It’s made my heart warm.
When mom was alive and i was still a kid she did time a lot I had to stay in foster homes till she got out, I had one wonderful family offer to adopt me and I declined. I'll never forget how heartbroken they were but even though mom made a lot of mistakes she did her best to show me she loved me. Some of the kids in the homes I stayed at were certain they were not loved by their mothers. Even if you mess up sometimes it's important to do what you can to show your child you love them, ill always love my mom and I know now she had severe mental health issues. I hope she's proud of me and knows I don't blame her.
I found this song on TH-cam back in 2009. I fell in love with Zee's voice. I remember sitting on the brownstone steps in the morning sun with my little laptop, listening to this and sipping french vanilla coffee while you slept in upstairs. I was so happy. We were engaged then. I remember I started calling you my honeybee. Some of those old cards you have from me have pictures or stickers of fat, happy little bees on them. I even dragged you to a little show of hers down on the Jersey Shore. (She was great). Seems like a lifetime ago. That was before I found out about the lies, the cheating, the manipulation, and before all the neglect and abuse. It was before I had the faintest clue that you were a narcissist, a sadist, and a borderline sociopath with an agenda. It was before I knew that you never really intended to marry me. When I was listening to this song I was wearing an engagement ring, had a beautiful wedding dress with my name on it and nothing but pure love, unconditional trust and contentment in my heart. Now when I hear this song, it makes me profoundly sad. There is a dark hole inside me and it's filled with shadows of you. It makes me miserable that I have to live with all these memories of loving someone.. (close to a decade) ..who never really existed. I have to live with memories of endless crying, anxiety, rejection, intense and repeated disappointment and every kind of abuse imaginable. For you, it's meaningless. For me it was real, deeply meaningful and deeply painful. But that doesn't matter to you or anyone anymore. Shame on you for breaking me like this, for being such a bad person and for making me feel empty & sad when I hear this beautiful song.
@bookmarkthis because narcissists are masters and extremely clever, after the love bombing which is when they hook you in and then marry you, the evil comes out. What's sad is that a lot of people don't know what narcissism is, I even had to educate myself on what was going on then I was like OHHHHHHHH OK..... GET THE FU@K OUT NOW!!!!!
Never let a narcissist steal your sunshine....get your mojo back and say, ok, now I know the signs of a cray cray narc and move on! You can still love this beautiful song and make it a reminder that you had to learn some hard lessons in life. I married a narc too, but I got out within 6 months and had my marriage annulled..... they are soul-less psychos!!!!!!!!!!
This song absolutely messed me up as a young pre-teen and was a dear favorite. It still randomly gets stuck in my head and I have to come listen again ❤
Saw Zee perform this at a Jack Johnson concert along with Paula Fuga. Was my first time hearing both and over the years I keep finding myself coming back to listen to all of them. Absolutely incredible performance
I heard this about 12 years ago when I was 14 and had to grow up fast. At 17 I was kicked out into the streets by my mother. Years have gone by and nothing has gotten easier. I turn 26 this year and I’ve had to be alone the majority of my adulthood because my family exiled me for being me. I don’t know what it’s like to have a family, I keep going through so much and I don’t know when it will stop. I have to serve time in a few weeks because I made a dumb decision but I think all I’m looking for is love and someone to appreciate me. I feel so lost right now all I want to do is listen to this song and float away…. Thursday 2:53 p.m. April, 25th. 2024.
the first time i heard this song was via a cover video, i fell in love with it!!! and i make sure i listen to it at least once a day! this song leaves me with so many mixed emotions! easily my new favorite artist!!!
Ah sweet poet , how many heart felt songs to be written? The touch of God upon your music as I listen The road ahead for a moment seemed like a giant, intimidating to me Now the looming Giant has met his match...the message of the Honey Bee.
My mom has sang this song to me since i was born this makes me cry happy tears I’m twelve and it really hits you after all that time it also bring back bad and good memories and reall shows me me and my moms bond . Not my dad he used to abuse me
I am a honey bee Shunned off from the colony And they won't let me in So I left the hive They took away all my stripes And broke off both my wings So I'll find another tree And make the wind my friend I'll just sing with the birds They'll tell me secrets of the world But my other honey bee Stuck where he doesn't wanna be But my darling, honey bee I'll come save you Even if it means I'd have to face the queen Da param pam param pam Para ra ra pa pa ra ram So I'll come prepared My new friends said they would help me Get my loved one back They say it isn't right The bees have control of your mind,* But I choose not to believe that So we'll meet in the darkness of the night And I promised I will be there on time We'll be guided by my new friends, the butterflies Bring us back to our own little hive Oh my other honey bee No longer stuck where he doesn't wanna be Oh my darling, honey bee I have saved you And now that you're with me We can make our own honey Oh param pam param pam Para ra ra pa pa ra ram
She has this really buttery quality on some of her vowels that reminds me a lot of Ella Fitzgerald (albeit less polished). You can really hear it on the word "right" at 1:59. Makes my heart melt :)
This song is so lovely when you read about how the little honeybee sacrifices all of that so courageously to save her other little honeybee. It breaks my heart and makes me smile...
I am really impressed with Zee Avi. I have no intention to offend any malaysian people but not many malaysian can speak fluent english ... It is because malay is their first language. But zee avi can sing and speak really good english unlike other malaysian singers.. Btw,I am a Singaporean who live in Malaysian for almost 4 years :)

I love love love her voice. But she made my sister laugh when I was playing her album on a road trip because she sings of such tragedy and misfortune with her sweet little voice. I think she is great.

Jesus, Zee Avi is my Childhood. This song was a year after I was born.. She never gets old. Stay true to yourself Zee Avi!

Look at what a beautiful heart you have been blessed with. Nobody can break you. Life is so good, it's time to heal now.
thanks, that's kind. 🌻
Thank you! Many blessings and namaste!

Zee Avi is an awesome young performer with a long career ahead of her, and I especially like this song.
What a great voice and beautiful spirit! I listened to her music for the first time yesterday on Spotify and I can't get enough of it.
Saw Zee perform this at a Jack Johnson concert along with Paula Fuga. Was my first time hearing both and over the years I keep finding myself coming back to listen to all of them. Absolutely incredible performance
I absolutely love ZEE AVI's music! pure heart and soul.... absolutely beautiful song!
This song and her voice brings comfort and love to a wounded heart. Thank you for this gem.

Some times we’re lucky enough to here an angles voice. Thank you.
Zee is one of those artists I try not take for granted and always remind myself how glad I am to hear her.
Amazing and original. You make Malaysians Proud!!!
So sweet, so pure. So good. Thank you for sharing you beautiful music with us.
Simple, smooth, sweet. I prefer this so much more than most stuff on the radio.
I saved this video 4 years ago and I still love it
weird flex, but okay
My friends introduced me to Zee today and I can say I really like all her songs, but this one really has a special place in my heart
Ah sweet poet , how many heart felt songs to be written?
The touch of God upon your music as I listen
The road ahead for a moment seemed like a giant, intimidating to me
Now the looming Giant has met his match...the message of the Honey Bee.
this girl is a lyric genius! greetings from philippines
Just got back from a trip to Bali an saw a special on Channel V about Zee Avi. Not usually my type of music but a beautiful voice indeed. I'm a fan.
It’s been 25 years since I’ve watch this
This song has been stuck in my head for 5 days and counting. so, so beautiful ♥♥

her voice is like pure honey. i saw her live in nj, she was amazing. very sweet and friendly too.
I'm American. You make America proud Zee! C'mon and let the world see how awesome Americans are!
I am a honey bee
Shunned off from the colony
And they won't let me in
So I left the hive
They took away all my stripes
And broke off both my wings
So I'll find another tree
And make the wind my friend
I'll just sing with the birds
They'll tell me secrets of the world
But my other honey bee
Stuck where he doesn't wanna be
But my darling, honey bee
I'll come save you
Even if it means I'd have to face the queen
Da param pam param pam
Para ra ra pa pa ra ram
So I'll come prepared
My new friends said they would help me
Get my loved one back
They say it isn't right
The bees have control of your mind,*
But I choose not to believe that
So we'll meet in the darkness of the night
And I promised I will be there on time
We'll be guided by my new friends, the butterflies
Bring us back to our own little hive
Oh my other honey bee
No longer stuck where he doesn't wanna be
Oh my darling, honey bee
I have saved you
And now that you're with me
We can make our own honey
Oh param pam param pam
Para ra ra pa pa ra ram
can listen to her voice all day! brilliant!
I have been listened since I was 18 years old in 2009, many memories and feelings come to my head right now
omg i just started crying. i know exactly what you mean. her voice takes me to another place. god bless you
Great way of telling your ups and downs with your love life, graceful voice and guitar playing.
Wow!what a voice...so pretty..love this song. Thanks Hannah..:)
what a beautiful song, thank youuuu zee avi!!
She has this really buttery quality on some of her vowels that reminds me a lot of Ella Fitzgerald (albeit less polished). You can really hear it on the word "right" at 1:59. Makes my heart melt :)
so sad.. and so refreshing and happy to the end/! truly original! i love you Zee Avi
wonderful, wonderful voice... and beautiful song... heavenly!
This song is so lovely when you read about how the little honeybee sacrifices all of that so courageously to save her other little honeybee.
It breaks my heart and makes me smile...

You are so talented. I am a big fan!
You caught me off guard...I'm glad I pursued this series of mouse clicks! A new discovery My day is complete. You have a new fan.

Easily the most adorable song ever.
the end of the song makes me smile (:
I love love love her voice. But she made my sister laugh when I was playing her album on a road trip because she sings of such tragedy and misfortune with her sweet little voice. I think she is great.
Zee you make me so proud to be a Malaysian. Keep on singing girl :D
Gosh, the lyrics. So simple, but so damn beautiful.
whenever I try to sing this song, I burst into tears...
