about

From our musical "Olde Coleraine", (not "To Bee or Not to Bee") this song was originally written as a duet between Reverend Lorenzo Langstroth and his friend/business partner William W. Carey who owned apple orchards and kept bees in Colrain in the second half of the 1800's. Langstroth, who was also the minister at Second Congregational Church in Greenfield, is known as the "Father of American Beekeeping" because he invented the stackable frame beehive, a type of hive still used by more than 90% of beekeepers around the world. He went into business with Carey building these hives. More at ptco.org/milltown

lyrics

The bee and the blossom, the blossom and the bee,
Apples and honey go together you see.
The bee and the blossom, the blossom and the bee,
That's why I have an orchard and an apiary.
