about

Some of our most esteemed colleagues, the bees have been having a rough time over the past few years. They really are one of the most important friends that we have when it comes to growing our food and pollinating all the plants, so this is a song about being nice to bees. Featuring a musical dedication to the Bee-Gees as well as many silly noises and lots and lots of bees!

lyrics

Buzz, buzz
Bees, bees
Buzz, buzz
Please, please
Buzz, buzz
Bees, bees
Buzz, buzz
Please please, please
Please go easy on our friends the bees
They’re extremely esteemed colleagues
Striving to survive in their home in the hive
And we need bees to bee alive

Well, leave the weeds and trees growing down the street
So we can please all the bees getting down to eat
Because life depends on these little friends
And we need bees to keep it sweet

Buzz, buzz
Buzz, buzz

Oh, well it wouldn’t be funny
If there wasn’t any honey
And all the flowers would be all be sad
Even if it was sunny with no bees

So please

Please go easy on our friends the bees
Cos we all stand on their tiny feet
The World depends on these little friends
And we need bees to keep it sweet

Keep it sweet
If you want happy plants
Keep it sweet
Put on your baggy pants
Keep it sweet
Do the Waggle dance

Buzz, buzz
Buzz, buzz
Buzz, buzz
