Bees buzz because they flap their wings really fast. Like when you rub your hands together quickly and make a loud noise. Bees do that about 230 times every second, which makes the buzzing sound we hear.
Examples
- A bee buzzes like a tiny motorcycle engine because its wings move really fast.
- When you hear a buzzing sound near a flower, it’s probably a bee flapping its wings quickly.
