What kinds of messages do bees share with each other? Find out in this 50’s/60’s style rock and roll song about bee communication! This one is all about the waggle dance that bees do, but you can sing along with the buzz, buzzes and make up your own waggle dance or do the dance moves in the song.
lyrics
All the bees say buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
And they do a little dance, because
They gotta tell their friends where to find
The best kind of trees.
The ones where the blossoms are so sweet
And there’s plenty of pollen to eat
Sharing directions where they’ve gotta go whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.
And all the bees say buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
And they do a little dance, because
They want to tell their friends where to find
A safe place to be.
A shady hollow in a tree
Where they can build honeycomb you see
But how far to fly and is it high or low whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa?
And all the bees say buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
And they do a little dance, because
It’s a way to share their messages quickly
They do the Waggle Dance!
You gotta flap with both your hands
Add a wiggle and there you go,
You can do it fast or slow
Do the Waggle Dance
Don’t let it put you in a trance,
Do a wiggle — there you go!
Try it fast and slow
It carries information, you see.
The kind you need when you’re a bee.
Do the Waggle Dance!
‘Cause all the bees say buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
And they do a little dance, because
They gotta tell their friends where to find
The best kind of trees.
And all the bees say buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
And they do a little dance, because
They want to tell their friends where to find
A safe place to be.
And all the bees say buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
And they do a little dance buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
Yeah all the bees say buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
And they do a little dance buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz
