something [], reason [], bee []

First of all he said to himself: “That buzzing-noise means something. You don't get a buzzing-noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing, without its meaning something. If there's a buzzing-noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee.”

Then he thought another long time, and said (затем он думал еще долгое время и сказал): “And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey (а единственная причина, /чтобы/ быть пчелой: «бытие пчелой», которую я знаю, — это делать мед: «делание меда»).”

And then he got up, and said (и потом он встал и сказал): “And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it (а единственная причина, /чтобы/ делать мед — это чтобы я мог его есть).” So he began to climb the tree (поэтому он начал лезть на дерево = полез на дерево; to begin — начинать).

He climbed and he climbed and he climbed (он лез и /он/ лез, и /он/ лез) and as he climbed he sang a little song to himself (а пока он лез, он пел себе песенку: «маленькую песню»). It went like this (она звучала так; to go — зд. звучать, гласить; like this — так):

Then he thought another long time, and said: “And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey.”

And then he got up, and said: “And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it.” So he began to climb the tree

He climbed and he climbed and he climbed and as he climbed he sang a little song to himself. It went like this:

Isn't it funny (разве /это/ не забавно) How a bear likes honey (как медведь любит мед)? Buzz! Buzz! Buzz (ж-ж-ж)! I wonder why he does (интересно: «я интересуюсь», почему он делает = любит /его/; to wonder — интересоваться, желать знать)?

how [], bear [], wonder []

Isn't it funny How a bear likes honey? Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! I wonder why he does?

Then he climbed a little further (затем он залез немного дальше)… and a little further (и /еще/ немного дальше)… and then just a little further (а потом /еще/ лишь немного = чуть-чуть дальше). By that time he had thought of another song (к этому времени он придумал еще одну песню).

further [], little [], song []

Then he climbed a little further… and a little further… and then just a little further. By that time he had thought of another song.

It's a very funny thought that, if Bears were Bees (/это/ очень забавная мысль, если бы Медведи были Пчелами), They'd build their nests at the bottom of trees (они бы строили свои гнезда в нижней части деревьев). And that being so (if the Bees were Bears) (и если бы было так (если бы Пчелы были Медведями)), We shouldn't have to climb up all these stairs (мы не должны были бы = нам не надо было бы лазить вверх по этим лестницам / трапам).
