Hives Inquiry Squad - Of ants and bees

Hip hop group from Portland, Oregon consisting of two young enthusiasts, Gavin Theory and Lucas Dix. 

The surnames of the two only need to be combined to make a fun band name, but the team did not dodge the question and dived into the work of American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963).

There they came across Departemental, a poem from 1936 about a worker ant that discovered a dead bee; we quote a few lines: 

'He scarcely gave it a touch

And was off on his duty run

Yet if he encountered one

Of the hives enquiry squad

Whose work is to find out God

And the nature of time and space

He would put him onto the case.'

Active: 2005-present, USA
