Written by Charlie Lennon after sitting in the Wicklow ( or Co Dublin ?) mountains and listening to the repeated notes made by bees.At least that's what i recall the story to be.

A pair with the hornpipe of the same name. I think they are meant to played as a suite, as on Maire O"Keefe's album House Party.
