The song is a folksong about how it came to be that Iceland use to have no bees.
The folk song is a story of how the bees were destroyed by a war between them and the birds and cats.
Bees were introduced to Iceland from Norway.

It could also be on the terrible winters of the Little Ice Age from 1350 to 1900 and the importance of adaptability to winter conditions as in dirty paws = arctic fox.
