You might think bees are scary, but really they are not
And I am going to tell you why I like them a lot!
Bees are very clever and they all live in a hive
They are busy little creatures and I’m glad that they’re alive.
You don’t want to touch them though, because well, if you do
They will buzz and fly around and then they might sting you
But really that’s not their fault, you shouldn’t run and scream
It gives the bees an awful fright and really is quite mean.
I think bees are brilliant, they are really really good
They fly to all the flowers and they pollinate our food
Another thing that bees do well is make the lovely honey
To spread on toast and porridge it is yummy in my tummy!
So next time that you see a bee don’t let it spoil your day
Remember the wonderful things they do and let it fly away!
