Bee BUZZ! goes the bee, Hour after hour, BUZZ! goes the bee From flower to flower. Sucking out the nectar Flying it home. Storing up the nectar In the honeycomb BUZZ! goes the bee, Making honey so sweet. Bee makes the honey That I love to eat! ~ Author Unknown ~ BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..... 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 Little Bees One little bee blew and flew. He met a friend, and that made two. Two little bees, busy as could be-- Along came another and that made three. Three little bees, wanted one more, Found one soon and that made four. Four little bees, going to the hive. Spied their little brother, and that made five. Five little bees working every hour-- Buzz away, bees, and find another flower. Five Busy Bees Five busy bees on a lovely spring day. This one said, "Let's fly away." This one said "We'll drink some nectar sweet." This one said, "Let's get pollen on our feet." This one said "And then we'll make some honey." This 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; Soon came another - then there were two. Two happy honeybees in the appletree; One more bee came buzzing up - then there were three. Three busy honeybees starting to explore Another bee came to help - then there were four. Four laden honeybees flying to the hive; They were joined by one more bee - then there were five. Five tired honeybees with the others mix; Now there's a swarm of them - a hundred times six. ~Elsa Gorham Baker~ BUZZZZZZZ When you hear a bumblebee, It may sound like a grumblebee But it is just a busy bee-- A buzzy, fuzzy, busy bee. ~Pearl Watts~ Bees There wouldn't be sunflowers, Wouldn't be peas, Wouldn't be apples, On apple trees If it weren't for fuzzy old, Buzzy old bees Dusting pollen off their knees. ~Aileen Fisher~ The Bees Go Buzzing Tune: When Johnny Comes Marching Home The bees go buzzing one by one.

Adapted from "The Ants Go Marching" from Mrs. Jones. 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? Bumblebee I sat as still as a playing-dead possum and watched a bee on a clover blossom, Watched him poking his long thin tongue into the blossoms pink and young, Heard him bumble and sort of sneeze as pollen stuck to his two hind knees. I held my breath as the bee buzzed over, and hoped I didn't look sweet as clover. ~Aileen Fisher~ Bee Geometry I'll tell you a secret between you and me-- The bees must know geometry. Peek in a beehive and you will see the six-sided shapes made by a bee. The hexagons you'll find inside fit side by side by side. I'll tell you a secret, I think you'll agree-- The bees must know geometry. ~Betsy Franco~
