          Baby Bumblebee

I’m bringing home a baby bumblebee, (cup hands and swing from side to side)     

Won’t my mommy be so proud of me,

I’m bringing home a baby bumblebee,

Ouch! It stung me!

(look at hands in surprise)

I’m squishing up the baby bumblebee, (squish hands together)

Won’t my mommy be so proud of me,

I’m squishing up the baby bumblebee,

Ewww yucky!

I’m wiping off the baby bumblebee, (wipe hands on legs)

Won’t my mommy be so proud of me,

I’m wiping off the baby bumblebee,

Now my mommy won’t be mad at me!

(no more baby bumblebee! All clean!)

Wild kratts learn about bees

          Five Facts about bees
1) Bees are amazing helpers….they help, flowers, grass, plants, vegetables, and fruits grow. 

2)Bees have 4 wings, which help bees to fly very fast. 

3)Bees gather nectar (found in the middle of flowers) and bring the food back to their home, a bee hive. Inside the hive are tiny rooms that they fill with honey. 

4)Bees are the only insect in the world that makes food people eat, which is HONEY! Yummy! 

5) If a bee lands on you or flies by you pretend to be a tree - DON’T MOVE. Bees are only looking for food and don’t want to hurt you. BE STILL
