Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

"The Bee" (Eddy #46)—Another song which reflects simply on the life of a small creature, here, the bee: “When the morning dries the dew / From the blooming clover, / Off I wing, / Sweets to bring, / Till the day is over” and also includes the “singing” of the bee, using onomatopoeia to create his sound: “Don’t you hear me singing so, / z- z- z- z-“ (Chorus). Another choir favorite.
