I think this song's about committing suicide. Which is ironic, at least to me, as if I was thinking about committing suicide, hearing this song would single-handedly prevent me from doing so. If this song isn't one of the most gorgeous songs I've ever I heard, I don't what is.
I never thought about it that way, but that makes total sense to me now. Previously, I saw this as a sort of "green anthem" song... like, look what we're doing to this beautiful world. He's longing for people to wake up to that beauty and take responsibility for their actions, otherwise it'll be too late. Maybe it's because of my environmentalism background.

Without bees, the human race could only last a short number of years (although I imagine we would find a way to survive). So they'd surely be missed.
Your interpretation makes perfect sense as well. It's obviously about something at the end of it's life, whether that be nature and mother earth, or whether it be the narrator, the sadness still resonates.

Also, is that a whale I hear in the background? I think it might be someone playing a saw. In any case, it's absolutely haunting.

at first i thought it was about a reluctant suicide, but i see now that the environmental interpretation makes as much sense.
and at first i thought the sound in the background was supposed to be the wind, but if this is an environmental statement, it does sound beautifully like a whale
antony probably intended it to be interpreted both ways, as a lot of his other songs also seem to have duel meanings, one obvious to some people, a different meaning apparent to others, but both make sense
