“Honey Bee” is the third song off of Zee Avi’s 2009 album Zee Avi. Zee Avi wrote this song when she was about 20 or 21, and it’s actually her first love song. In an interview with Atwood Magazine Zee Avi spoke about her song “Honey Bee” and said:

[Verse 1]
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

Para-ra-ra-pa-pa-ra-ram
[Verse 2]
So I'll come prepared

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Oh-param-pam-param-pam
Para-ra-ra-pa-pa-ra-ram
