Looking for the words to a song that was taught in grade school in Hawaii before WWII. Only know lyrics The bees make the honey and the honey makes the money in the good old fashioned way. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Kathy

All I can suggest is the old nursery rhyme:

God made the bees and the bees make the honey The miller's men do all the work but the miller makes the money

From a blues song as sung by Buddy Guy:

The little bee sucks the blossom
The big bee makes the honey
I do all the hard work
But the boss, he gets all the money!

I realize this most likely isn't the right one either.
