Scholar, moi? Phtt! *You* are the scholar, to inquire about such nuances as the difference between Zoe and Bios :)
"Bios" means life, but in the sense of "livelihood" or "mode of life". Its offshoots words such as "biography" and "biology".
"Zoe" also means life, but more in the sense of "living and being alive". It is a much "livelier" expression for life than Bios. Related words include Zoon (living animal) and, hence, zoo ;)
