King D.

Well, I'm a King Bee

Buzzin' around yo' hive

Well, I'm a King Bee

Buzzin' around yo' hive

Well, I can make honey, baby

Let me come inside

I'm young and able

To buzz all night long

I'm young and able

To buzz all night long

Well, when you hear me buzzin', baby

Some stingin' is going on

Well, buzz awhile

'Sting-a-been'

Well, I'm a king bee

Want you to be my queen

Well, I'm a king bee

Want you to be my queen

Together we can make honey

The world ever, never, seen

Well, I'm a king bee

Can buzz all night long

Well, I'm a king bee

Can buzz all night long

Well, I can buzz better, baby

When yo' man is gone.

BLY : He was a Wonderful Old Man. But he was waiting to be a Mentor, a Male Mother, to young American scientists, and they didn’t know The Tradition and they didn’t go to him.

MOYERS: But in these traditional cultures, when these older men played this role for young men, what were the older men? What were the Male Mothers doing for the boys?

BLY: When The Male Mother is there, and The Mentor is there, one thing he does is bless the young men. 

And it’s so strange, that men need blessing from older men. 

Robert Moore, I heard him say in a tape, “If you’re a young man, and you’re not being admired by an older man, you’re being hurt.” 

I like that a great deal.

So that many women bless young men, but the man still needs a blessing from an older man. 

You know, I heard Robert Moore say it to a group of men: “How many of you have admired a younger man in the last two weeks, and told him so?” Silence. 

“How many of you were admired by older men when you were young?” Silence. 

Then he said that sentence, “If you are a young man and you’re not being admired by an older man, you’re being hurt.”
