Bees Make Honey were an influential band in the early pub rock movement in the UK.
The band were formed in 1971 in north London by Barry Richardson, Ruan O’Lochlainn, Deke O’Brien and Mick Molloy, former members of Irish showband The Alpine Seven, and American drummer Bob “Cee” Siebenberg, who would later rise to fame in Supertramp. While touring heavily on the emerging pub rock circuit, Bees Make Honey signed with record label EMI to record their debut album Music Every Night (1973). By the time the album was released, the band were already beginning to break up. Frequent line-up changes preceded the dissolution of the band in 1974.
In November of 1996, Bees Make Honey were included along with other notable UK pub rock bands on a two-disc compilation by EMI Premiere, Naughty Rhythms: The Best of Pub Rock. Subsequently, in 2003, label Acadia released a two-disc anthology entitled Back on Track, combining studio sessions and representative live performances by the band.
