Have a look at You Tube, search for "Beekeeping" and you will see Rowan Atkinson interviewing John Cleese on the subject. They don't get very far with the bee information!
Arthur Askey's "THE BEE SONG"
Oh what a wonderful thing to be,
A healthy grown up busy busy bee;
Whiling away all the passing hours
Pinching all the pollen from the cauliflowers.
I'd like to be a busy little bee,
Being just as busy as a bee can be.
Flying around the garden, brightest ever seen,
Taking back the honey to the dear old queen
(Chorus)
Bz,bz, bz. bz. honey bee, honey bee,
Bz if you like but don't sting me,
Bz,bz, bz. bz. honey bee, honey bee,
Bz if you like but don't sting me.
Oh what a wonderful thing to be,
A healthy grown up busy busy bee;
Toying with the tulips, tasting every type,
Building up the honey comb that looks like tripe.
I'd like to be a busy little bee,
Being just as busy as a bee can be.
Flying all around in the wild hedgerows
stinging all the cows on the parson's nose
There are 2 more verses.
