The Flight of the Bumblebee
(ee)
(Tune: Yankee Doodle)
Won't you come along with me
to follow the flight of the bumblebee?
She'd been asleep through winter's snow,
but then she wakes when flowers grow.
It's time to find a brand new spot
to build a nest for honey pots.
A hole in the ground will surely do
to build a home so snug and new.
She'll be a busy bee today.
She'll work and work the day away,
as she forms her nest with fuzz,
so soft and warm it makes her buzz.

The Flight of the Bumblebee continued
(ee)
(Tune: Yankee Doodle)
Then she's off to gather food,
to feed her ever growing brood.
She'll carry the pollen for her eggs
in tiny pockets on her legs
Now, if you look, you'll surely see
a very busy Mama Bee.
Her baby bees are all around,
in her happy home beneath the ground.
Busy as a Bee
(ee)
(Tune: Oscar Mayer Wiener Song)
Oh, I wish I were a little bitty honey bee.
That is what I’d really like to be.
Now if I were a little bitty honey bee,
everyone would be in love with me!
Oh, I wish I were a little bitty honey bee.
That is what I’d really like to be.
Now if I were a little bitty honey bee,
there would be some honey just for me!
Busy Bees
(ee)
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Busy, busy, busy bees,
working hard to please.
You always try to do your best,
but I have one request!
Busy, busy, busy bees,
I’m only asking, ”Please!”
Make some honey just for me,
and happy I will be!
