Die Bienen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Kaum sind die ersten Blüten da, sind auch die kleinen Bienen nah. Sie fliegen herum mit sum sum sum! Sie schlüpfen hinein im Sonnenschein. Sie saugen den Seim und tragen ihn heim in ihr kleines Haus. Sie leben den Winter in Saus und Braus von Blumenduft und Sonnenschein: O dürft ich doch ein Bienchen sein!
