AS BUSY AS A BEE

AS BUSY AS A BEE

DID YOU KNOW?

The honeybee’s wings stroke 11,400 times per minute, thus making their distincive buzz.

How many eyes does a honeybee have? Five.

In order to produce 1kg of honey,about 4 million flowers must be visited.

One bee colony can produce up to 150 kg of honey per year.

One of Slovenia’s most popular songs, written by Lojze Slak, is called Čebelar – Beekeeper.

HONEY BEE HIERARCHY

PROVERBS

A mouth sweet as honey opens many doors.

Words are like bees, they can be full of honey or they can be sting.

A good word is like honey: sweet for the soul and cure for the body.

You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

POEMS

Buzzy Bee

Buzzy bee,
Buzzy bee,
Buzz on the flowers,
Buzz on the tree.
Buzz on the table,
Buzz on the chair,
But NOT on my hair!

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz

Said the bumblebee.
Here it comes, he’s after me.
Oh no, he’ s not, for I can see,
he’s on his way to the apple tree.
