the bee reference refers to the change the count goes under. He starts the book as a poor and naive sailor and a friend takes advantage of this and the count ends up in jail where he becomes angry and bitter and bent on revenge - kinda like uma therman in kill bill. (i.e he is no longer sweet to others like honey is sweet but is still a bee which can sting). when he escapes he comes into alot of money by finding treasure, creates the alias the count of monte christo and starts his revenge. In this song, its almost as if she has fallen in love with the count and is trying to get through to him but instead hes so bent on revenge she doesnt get a look in. When she says he gives her a penny for her thoughts, she reffering to the genourous nature that the count gives out his money. He doesnt give her a penny, he gives her more but wont accept the change. Hes kind but will never love her. Thats what i think anyway
