[Chorus] Buzz, buzz, a bee’s life— small, yet so incredibly grand. Buzz, buzz, a bee’s life— it’s what brings color to the world of flowers. (Oh, a bee’s life) (Oh, a bee’s life) [Verse 1] Over twenty thousand species call this world their home, yet only about ten are honeybees— the rest fly out, unseen. In your own backyard, many are buzzing, over five hundred, wild and free— mason bees, bumblebees, and so many more, all playing their part in pollination. [Pre-Chorus] A colony in summer—just listen close— holds some fifty thousand bees. A queen bee rules the hive, and every life depends on her. [Chorus] Buzz, buzz, a bee’s life— small, yet so incredibly grand. Buzz, buzz, a bee’s life— it’s what brings color to the world of flowers. (Oh, a bee’s life) (Oh, a bee’s life) [Verse 2] The queen will lay up to half a million eggs throughout her life; she remains active for three to five years— her entire span as a queen. Worker bees give their all, though their summer is quite short— four to five weeks, and then they grow weary; in winter, a few remain to keep the queen warm. [Chorus] Buzz, buzz, a bee’s life— small, yet so incredibly grand. Buzz, buzz, a bee’s life— it’s what brings color to the world of flowers. (Oh, a bee’s life) (Oh, a bee’s life) To fill a single jar, they visit up to seven million blossoms, covering one hundred and twenty thousand kilometers— nearly three times around the entire Earth— that is how far their diligence takes them. They can even count up to four, and they see UV light so clearly; blossoms glow like landing strips, revealing the path ahead. Through their waggle dance, they share where the best supplies are found— precise, clever, and full of energy, ensuring everyone makes it home. [Chorus] Buzz, buzz, the life of a bee— small, yet truly grand; buzz, buzz, the life of a bee— bringing color to the world of flowers. (oh, the life of a bee) (oh, the life of a bee) Buzz, buzz, the life of a bee— small, yet truly grand; buzz, buzz, the life of a bee— bringing color to the world of flowers. (oh, the life of a bee) (oh, the life of a bee)
