Bee Songs and Fingerplays

Here's the Beehive

Here's the beehive, but where are the bees? (Make a fist)

They're are hiding away so nobody sees.

Soon they'll come creeping out of their hive,

One, two, three, four, five. Buzzz (Hold up fingers as you count)

I'm Taking Home a Baby Bumble Bee

I'm taking home a baby bumble bee.

Won't my mama be so proud of me?

I'm taking home a baby bumble bee.

Ouch, he stung me! (clasp hands as if holding bee)

I'm smashing up a baby bumble bee.

Won't my mama be so proud of me?

I'm smashing up a baby bumble bee.

Oh, it's all over me.(smash one hand into the other cupped hand and twist)

I'm wiping off a baby bumble bee.

Won't my mama be so proud of me?

I'm wiping off a baby bumble bee.

Oh, it's all over me.(wipe hands on clothing)(hold hands out as if dirty)
