Hello, and Happy Spring!
Here is my story about a busy bee, and it is also my entry for the
2025 SPRING FLING KIDLIT CONTEST!
After you have read the poem, try dancing about it. Can you do the figure-eight waggle dance, like the bee in the illustration? Then lead your bee friends to the flowers. Fly from flower to vine to tree, gathering as much nectar and pollen as you can. Then quickly fly back to the hive!
WAGGLE DANCE

Waggle, wiggle, waggly-wag,
I'm a dancing bee.
Watch me do a figure eight,
Come and fly with me.
I can show you where I found,
Flowers everywhere!
It's not very far away,
Let me take you there.
Over hills and lakes we go,
On this fine spring day.
Come along, straight ahead,
See? I know the way!
We will gather nectar here,
Busy, busy bees,
Buzzing through the flower bed,
Bushes, vines, and trees.
Right back to our hive we go.
We have work to do.
Making honey, oh, so sweet.
We'll make some for you!
Keep on Dancing,
Connie
