Here is the Beehive

I recently became the surrogate parent to a hive of tens of thousands of bees. They are pretty well-behaved, mostly keeping to their hive. My family is hoping for some seriously local honey. This rhyme is for them. It always gets a good reaction when the bees are unveiled.

Here is a beehive.  

(Hold up closed fist)

Where are the bees? 

(Hold open both hands to show empty palms)

Hiding inside, do you want to see? 

(point finger at closed fist)

1, 2, 3! 

(open fist, finger by finger while counting)

Buzzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz! 

(Bee fingers buzz around and find a family member to tickle)
