Busy Buzzing Bees
Do You Like To Buzz?
(tune: Do Your Ears Hang
Low?)
Do you like to buzz,
Are you covered all in fuzz?
Do you call a hive a home
In the Garden where you roam?
Do you know how to make honey,
Are your stripes a little funny?
Do you like to buzz?
Here is the beehive. Where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees.
Soon they will come, creeping out from the hive;
One, two, three, four, five!
What do you suppose?
A bee sat on my nose!
What do you think?
He gave me a wink.
He said, "I beg your pardon.
I thought you were the garden."
Five Busy Bees
Five busy bees on a lovely spring day.
The first one said, "Let's fly away."
The second one said, "We'll drink some nectar sweet."
The third one said, "Let's get pollen on our feet."
The fourth one said, "And then we'll make some honey."
The fifth one said, "Good thing it's warm and sunny!"
So the five busy bees went flying along,
Singing a happy honeybee song.
Bzzzzzzzzzz!
The Swarm of Bees
One little honeybee by my window flew.
Along came another bee, and then there were two.
Two happy honeybees in the appletree.
Another bee came buzzing up, and then there were three.
Three busy honeybees starting to explore.
Another bee flew up to help, and then there were four.
Four happy honeybees went flying to the hive.
They were joined by one more bee, and then there were
five.
Five tired honeybees with the others mix.
Now there's a swarm of them -- a hundred times six!
I'm Bringing Home A Baby Bumblebee
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee.
(cup hands together and bounce them)
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee.
OUCH! It stung me!
(slap hands together)
I'm squishing up the baby bumble bee.
(rub hands together)
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm squishing up the baby bumble bee.
YUCK! What a MESS!
(look at hands and make a yucky face)
I'm wiping off the baby bumble bee.
(rub hands down legs)
Won't my mommy be so proud of me?
I'm wiping off the baby bumble bee.
OH NO! MOMMY'S MAD!
(put hands on cheeks and look surprised)
OOPS!

students discover the complex social behavior, communication and hive environment
of the honeybee. Students make paper bees, a beehive, flowers with pollen
and bee predators. They also role-play bees in a beehive drama and perform
bee dances to communicate the location of food sources. Skills developed
include: observing, comparing, matching, communicating, role-playing."
