 The short is based on the song, sung by the vaudevillian trio, the Brox Sisters.Bees are harvesting nectar from flowers to make honey, as the camera turns to a trio of singing bees.They perform the song as bees are shown making honey, using ways like human techniques of farming, a stereotypical "French chef" tasting it, and melting candle wax to preserve, a reference to beeswax.
