Little bees flying around the sky,
Pollinating the cute flowers.
Living the beautiful life,
Flying around the woods.
Peacefully buzzing,
Black and yellow.
Very soft
Insects.
Bee!

I miss a certain buzzing
from a certain bee,
He is a tiny little thing
who used to visit me.
I’m not sure when it happened
but one day he was gone,
He also took his friends with him
I hope they won’t be long.
Without him, I feel lonely
My flowers miss him too,
It’s too quiet with no buzzing
My garden seems quite blue.
The daffodils need him back
to pollinate them all,
And the crocuses and daisies
They seem to droop and fall.
We need our little bee friend
and all his mates as well,
Or our gardens will disappear
How quickly, we can’t tell.
The Bee who Buzzed Off by Erica Chester

Hear the humble bumble
of the buzzy wuzzy bees,
as they flitter and they flutter
through the flowers and the trees.
Gathering in sweet pollen
to take home to their hive,
where they make the runny honey
that helps the whole world thrive.

Beetrice is all abuzz
A busy buzzing bee
Busy as a bee can be
Her home inside a tree
Shall we look and see
What she really does?
The busy bee she needs to be
Aside from all the buzz
Deep within the hive
She works her busy legs
Taking care of ‘Queenie’
While she lays more eggs
Lots of little larvae
Needing to be fed
Making sure each one has
A share of sweet bee bread
Working waxy wonders
Rooms with walls of six
Holding strong for so long
There’s no need for sticks
A fussy, clever cleaner
She keeps a spotless home
Life’s such a buzz within
Her world of honeycomb
But beware of Beetrice
Best to let her be
Show respect for her place
A home inside that tree
Should it be disturbed
The hive a bee defends
She’s got quite a sting
And so have all her friends
Lots to do in Summer
Young ones can’t get hot
Busy Beetrice fans her wings
Or else they’ll lose the lot
United with her sisters
Workers make a breeze
Cooling down bees to be
Together done with ease
Foraging for nectar
Changing it to honey
On the wing from dawn to dusk
While the days are sunny
Visiting the flowers
Beetrice never stops
She helps feed our nation
By pollinating crops
What a wonderous worker
A busy buzzing bee
Without busy Beetrice
Where would we be?
Could she understand
What bees do for us?
She’s probably too busy now
Too busy for a fuss
Busy buzzing Beetrice
Thank you for the honey
To have on buttered toast
Golden, sweet and runny!
And for tasty fruit
You work away for hours
There’s apples, pears and cherries
From pollinated flowers
We are so grateful
For treats such as these
May there always be
Busy buzzing bees!
