Dead Bees on a Cake is the fifth studio album by British singer-songwriter David Sylvian, released on 29 March 1999. It was his first solo album in 12 years since Secrets of the Beehive.
While continuing collaborations with artists such as Kenny Wheeler, Bill Frisell, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Steve Jansen, the album also features contributions from guitarist Marc Ribot and tabla player Talvin Singh. Recorded in many locations on both sides of the Atlantic, produced by David, and documenting an eventful and transformative period in his life, the work is openly celebratory in nature.
