Here is the Beehive

folk song / traditional, Pre-K, preschool

Lyrics

(Traditional chant)

Here is the beehive, where are the bees?
Hidden away where nobody sees
Watch and you’ll see them come out of the hive,
One, two, three, four, five
Bzzzzzzz

Motions

Here is the beehive, where are the bees? – Make a fist with thumb enclosed.
Hidden away where nobody sees – Put other hand over the hive.
Watch and you’ll see them come out of the hive – Look at closed fist.
One, two, three, four, five – Beginning with thumb, fingers come out of hive one by one.
Bzzzzzzz – Fingers flutter up.
