Bee Poems

We finished off our writing this term by creating poems about bees.

Bees are as sweet as an angel.
A bee is as fluffy as a bunny.
Ouch a bee stings me.
It feels like a needle plucked me. The worker bees work as hard as a maid.
The bee is buzzing around like a lawn mower.
By Sophia

Bees fly to a flower and it sounds like buzz.
Then she flew to New Zealand on a journey and made rich honey and got a lot of money.
Bee was yellow and black. When you see the bee it is like no other without bees we are dead.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz.
Bees fly as fast as a person spiting for a medal. 
By Amy

There was a bee that had lots of money
Who collected pollen and honey
She’s yellow and black
And lives in a shack
But now is no longer funny.
By Leela 

Bees as bright as the morning sun
making yummy honey for your tummy
Springing from flower to flower making a soft buzzing sound
Working as hard as a builder carrying a big heavy pile of bricks
By Max

There was a bee that flew around
And could do this with no sound
She had three eyes
And liked to eat pies
But now cannot fly off the ground.
By Stella

Bees look like a stripy soldier,
Buzzing around your red towel,
Bee don’t go on that towel it not a flower,
Bees sound like a pepper shaker. 
By Lachlan 

Bees are a lovely thing
The make honey in the spring
You don’t have to kill Bees as they don’t sting
It sounds like a buzzing noise in my ear
Bees like honey because they are yummy.
By Mojdeh

I am black on a track with yellow stripes in the night
I eat chives with knives
Honey is good for my tummy
I get honey for my big fat tummy
By Lucia


The Bee
There was a bee from the city
That liked to fly hi
She’s working as hard as the teachers at meadow bank school
She makes everything good
By pollinating she’s really good
With her fluffy coat all around  
By Sarah

A bee looks like a zebra with the wrong colours. 
A bee sounds like a zipper going up and down. 
A bee works as hard as a builder building a house.
By Fox


Bees as yellow in the morning sun buzzing around gathering nectar
Bees are yellow and black they live in a shack
There’s a queen in the hive that lives with chives
Everyone is no longer funny because the queen bee has lots of money
By William


The bees work as hard as god making the world, the bees fly like they’re in trouble. They sound like someone saying “zzz” the wrong way, bees as bright as the morning sun and as dark as the midnight sky.
By Blake

A bee sounds like a lawn mower.
She looks like night but with yellow strips.
She works as hard as a builder that carries a block.
