Hello,
I’ve been trying to find the lyrics and author of a favorite childhood song that begins: “The bees gave a party and invited all they knew. A wasp and some hornets and a few mosquitoes too…”
Do you know what it is?Thanks,
Louise Ciampi
If anyone can help with the lyrics to this song, or any other info, please comment below or email me.
Thanks!

THE BEES’ PARTY (we had Irish nuns in grammar school who taught us this…a very long time ago)
The bees gave a party and invited all they knew
The wasps and the hornets and a few mosquitoes, too
Yo-ho, and hey! every orchard tree was humming with a
buzz-buzz-buzz
On that sunny summer day
The bees said, “Good-day, and won’t you make yourself at home?”
The band played sweet music, which it made upon a comb
A lovely scene was that happy party, gaily singing
buzz-buzz-buzz
As they danced upon the green
Miss Wasp asked the Bumblebee if he would sing a song
She said they would listen if it wasn’t very long
The bee said, “Oh, very gladly I will sing for you, but
hum-sweet-hum
Is the only tune I know.”
The hours passed too quickly and the day was too-soon sped
The wasps and the hornets said “good-night” and went to bed
But ho! and hey! the mosquitoes never stopped their singing
buzz-buzz-buzz
‘Til the dawning of the day.

I saw you were looking for the song “The Bee’s Party”. I have the words to the song but I don’t know how it sounds or the tune. Do you have the music or can you tell me if it goes to a certain tune? I would like for my students to learn it for a play we are in.
Thanks,
Melissa

I do know the tune to THE BEES GAVE A PARTY. I was so happy to find the complete lyrics, thanks to you. I could easily sing the song to you over the phone… I have no other way to get the music to you. If I am not at home, please leave your number and I will call you back. Thanks again, Joan Shepard
