Fireflies come out at night
In the summer sky!

The Bugs on the Go
(Tune: "The Wheels on the Bus")

The small honeybees go buzz-buzz-buzz,
Buzz-buzz-buzz,buzz-buzz-buzz.
The small honeybees go buzz-buzz-buzz,
All day long.

The crickets in the grass go hop-hop-hop,
Hop-hop-hop, hop-hop-hop.
The crickets in the grass go hop-hop-hop,
All day long.

The slow caterpillars go munch-munch-munch,
Munch-munch-munch, munch-munch-munch.

All day long.

The big black spiders go creep-creep-creep,

Do you like to Buzz?
(Tune: Do Your Ears Hang Low)

Do you like to buzz.
Are you covered all in fuzz?
Do you call a hive a home
In the garden where you roam?
Do you know how to make honey,
Are your stripes a little funny?
Do you like to buzz?

The Fuzzy Caterpillar
(Tune:Itsy Bitsy Spider)

The fuzzy caterpillar
curled up on a leaf,
Spun her little cocoon
and then fell fast asleep.
While she was sleeping,
she dreamed that she could fly
And later when she woke up
She was a butterfly!

BEE SONG
(Sung to: She'll Be comin' Round the Mountain)

They'll be flying 'round the flowers in the yard. Buzz buzz. (flap hands)
They'll be flying 'round the flowers in the yard. Buzz buzz.
They'll be flying 'round the flowers; they'll be flying 'round the flowers;
They'll be flying 'round they flowers in the yard.

More verses:

They'll be slurping up the nectar when they come. Gulp! Gulp! (pretend to swallow)
They'll be scooping up the pollen with their legs. Fun! Fun! (Stomp twice)
They'll be feeding all the babies in the hive. Eat! Eat! (pretend to rock baby)
They'll be cooling down the hive with their wings. Flap! Flap! (flap arms)
They'll be making lots of honey that we'll eat. Yum! Yum! (rub tummy)
