The noble bees

We're noble bees of the kingdom of bees,
Don't think us any lesser than you should,
'Cos though we are quite small in size,
We work as much as we could.

We're never lazy and idle,
We work all day in haste,
Building our hive and guarding our hive,
We've not a minute to waste.

We never quarrel or have our own ways,
We're one big family,
We're an example for you human race,
But what d'you do instead?

You destroy our hive to steal our honey,
Ultimately, make some money,
But aren't you ashamed, to destroy the hive,
Of the United Noble Bees?
