Flannel Friday: Six Little Bumblebees

I have a set of bumblebees and a hive that were purchased here at this library, but since I love this rhyme and will use it forever, I wanted to make my own version. (And since I am really enjoying sewing on my flannels, I did sew as much as I can on these bees.) This is another clip art flannel — I just googled “hive” and “bee” and used some clip art.

Here’s the rhyme I use with this flannel:

Six little bumblebees sitting on a hive
One flew away and then there were five
Bumblebee, bumblebee fly away!
Bumblebee, bumblebee happy all day!
Five little bumblebees sitting on the floor
One flew away and then there were four
Bumblebee, bumblebee fly away!
Bumblebee, bumblebee happy all day!
Four little bumblebees sitting in the tree
One flew away and then there were three
Bumblebee, bumblebee fly away!
Bumblebee, bumblebee happy all day!
Three little bumblebees looking at you
One flew away and then there were two
Bumblebee, bumblebee fly away!
Bumblebee, bumblebee happy all day!
Two little bumblebees sitting in the sun
One flew away and then there was one
Bumblebee, bumblebee fly away!
Bumblebee, bumblebee happy all day!
One little bumblebee left all alone
He flew away, safe to his home
