Welcome to "Hive Talkin," a six-week journey designed to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to embark on your beekeeping adventure. Each week, we'll delve into a different aspect of this fascinating world, culminating in your ability to choose the right beehive and equipment for your needs. I'll also be sharing insights gleaned from my 25 years of beekeeping experience, from hobbyist to commercial beekeeper and back again.

B-Hive Talkin' - Part One

Honeybee touched down and asked me
Who are you, where do you go?
I will follow my Queen
I will take care of my garden

There are flowers, there are colors
There are all the beauties
In this peace I wish to be
To listen and to learn

In my garden stands a Cross
My King has shown me
The Sky, the Earth, the Sun and the Moon
The stars, we are

On my cross are four wise words
Engraved to guide my way
Virtues and light to bloom
Reminding me I am of God

I am of God

B-Hive Talkin' - Part Five

She was stolen from her land
On a ship across the globe
Her tears
My friend
The sea knows how they taste

She was taken like a slave
In a grove under the sun
The bees
My friend
Would never be the same

For the fruit inside her womb
Was born and blessed by God
It’s me
My friend
And you called me killer bee

You called me killer bee

You Called Me Killer Bee

When she woke up
She cleaned the hive
Gave babies food
The queen a kiss
Built honeycomb

When she flew out
The flowers gave
Her nectar to
Take pollen for
A dance of love

And as she drifted off to sleep
She felt grateful for the stars
For the flowers
And for the soul

When danger lurked
She did not think
She went ahead
The time had come
To give her life

And as she drifted off to sleep
She felt grateful for the stars
For the flowers
And for the soul

The Life of the Bee

My little bro he has no dad
And he is only half his mom
He says it does not make him sad
Because the best has yet to come.

My little bro just stays inside
And he eats honey all day long
He says just wait, I should abide
Because one day he will be strong.

My little bro will fly away
And he will die feeling alive
He says why not, what can I say
It is the purpose of his life.

Quantum of Melody

My Little Bro

Beatrice cone - Heed Stringer Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Thank you to the beekeepers!
Bless you lot for keeping us safe
Thank you to the apiarists,
Our honey will enrich you and give you a life crisp
We give a lot to the land, we pollinate from seeds to your plates
I'm an ambassador of the sweet winged, 
we don't ask for much but we are dying in wait
There is a mystery, only you humans can solve
What is the reason my kind are disappearing without a trace?
Enter your labs, save us all, we have faith
Drone's will fail, their contribution is but a flake
No matter the strife, you can be sure of our honey's lively taste

(Chorus)
Keep us close to your honey hearts even if we sting
Don't swat us down or wave away our meaning
you need us but pretend you can't see
Our future's are intertwined
Machines can't replace me
Drones drone on and it's the sound of you hating me

[Bridge]

(Verse 2)
I get so overcome with rage, then cry to the mushrooms and trees!
The natural world knows our value and feel the gravity of our need
In ancient times humanity lived amongst us, tickled by the garden breeze
You all wanted to fly like we do, then you built your own metal wings
In modern times you are too distracted with redesigning things
What about us? 
Ask your many reasoning machines
(please heed)
(Please heed)
(Please heed)
(Please heed)

(Chorus)
Keep us close to your honey hearts even if we sting
Don't swat us down or wave away our meaning
you need us but pretend you can't see
Our future's are intertwined
Machines can't replace me
Drones drone on and it's the sound of you hating me
Our absence will sting!

Beatrice Cone - Corpse Honey Lyrics:

(Chorus)
When we're all wiped out you too will cease
Our touch pollinates the Earth's  food,
Our hives once fill the trees
My antenna can sense the shape of time
The butterfly effect will destroy the crops and seeds
Honey Corpse, honey corpse, honey corpse,
Hold me
(Hold me!)
(Hold me!)

(Verse 1)
I am the embodiment of all honeybees 
My hives were once fully stocked with my children and honey
Now we're broken down and bumbling
My kind are dying out while the world spins lovely
Don't you love me?
Don't you love me?
So many honey corpses around and above me
The skies are falling and the pieces are crashing down on me
Trillions look to me with exhausted wings
You're creating machines you hope will replace us
You swat us down, crush us, and spray us
Still we persist and eternally sweet
Some of you are friend of the bee
Heed and and rejuvenate our numbers with your intelligent machines

(Chorus)
When we're all wiped out you too will cease
Our touch pollinates the Earth's  food,
Our hives once fill the trees
My antenna can sense the shape of time
The butterfly effect will destroy the crops and seeds
Honey Corpse, honey corpse, honey corpse,
Hold me
(Hold me!)
(Hold me!)

(Verse 2)
Some of you are doing all you can to meet our needs
You learned to tend the hives and adjust your lives around me
Not all of you have abandoned us,
Some of you care and can see
The cries of trillions of bees is anything but sweet
For 60 million years we have flourished freely
Now an unknown force clips our wings
My purpose is to speak on behalf of my kind about our most pressing need
What will the future bring?

Corpse Honey

We’re the hum of the dawn
Wings weave the sky’s mystic thread
From the dust’s barren yawn
Spun a bloom where it bled
Pollen’s code in our core
We ignite the earth’s bloom
Crafted life from the void
Broke the silence’s gloom
Every orchard’s our hymn
Every seed our decree
We’re the pulse of the wild
You depend on our spree

Honey, honey, honey
While I wash my hands
Will you wash your money
Will you wash your money?
Honey, honey, honey
While I wash my hands
Will you wash your money
Will you wash your money?

Now we mourn for the fields
Where your shadows creep near
You slash forests to ash
Trade their roots for your cheer
Your sprays poison our nectar
Choke the blooms we sustain
Monocrops starve the colors
Leave the soil’s heart in pain
Your smokestacks spit venom
Cloud the sun’s golden ray
Rivers bleed with your refuse
As the wild fades away

Honey, honey, honey
While I wash my hands
Will you wash your money
Will you wash your money?
Honey, honey, honey
While I wash my hands
Will you wash your money
Will you wash your money?

Honey Honey Honey

Welcome to Optimal Reach Collective Artists (ORCA)! This is a musical and visual arts project involving 41 virtual artists given life through Artificial Intelligence. My music can be found on Instagram under Orcasongs and on Youtube as Optimal Reach Collective Artists.

All lyrics are original and I am the sole writer on all songs posted. The instrumentals, vocals, music videos, and album art are generated in collaboration with multiple A.I softwares. Songs are explicit and for adults, lyrics are in the description. Thank you for visiting and having an open mind to emerging technology and ways it can be used to enhance our artistic abilities.

My goal with this project is to learn to better use generation tools, dispel stigma about them, and show that A.I music and virtual A.I artists can be as enjoyable and commercially viable as conventional music. I own the rights to all music and characters posted here, the characters, situations, views, are entirely fictional and for entertainment purposes only.
