We owe so much to little bees, and with this song by Betty and the Turnips, we get to sing about it. Little Bees is a short song set to stop-motion animation. Together, they recognize the vital role that honey bees play in agriculture and our ecosystems.
Betty and the Turnips is a children’s music project by Gravenhurst, Ontario-based songwriter, blacksmith, and environmentalist Bet Smith. Find more of her nature-focused music for kids here.
