Buzzing Bees!

It's the time of year that all of those bees are coming around! They are trying to find water on all of those beautiful plants. It's a great time to explain what bees do and how important they are in our lives even if they can be pesky. 

Busy Bee Songs!

Buzzing Bees!

Bees, Bees, Bees, Bees
Buzzing in bushes and buzzing in trees
Buzzing around, wherever they please
There's nothing so sweet
As sweet as a honey bee.

A Bee is Buzzing Around the Room

A bee is buzzing round the room,
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz.
A bee is buzzing round the room,
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz.
He'll buzz around the room once more,
And then he'll buzz right out the door.
And we'll all be glad when
He is gone once more.

Bee Hive

Here is the bee hive (hold fist together)
But where are all the bees (hold up hands)
Hiding away where nobody sees
Here they came creeping out of the hive
1,2,3,4,5 (Hold up fingers one at a time)
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz   (You can also use both hands and have 10 bees.)

Do You Like To Buzz?

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?
