the sandpipers
an italian-language rendering of "the birds and the bees", "sulla sabbia c’era lei", was recorded by sonia e le sorelle (), and was an entrant in the 1965 cantagiro festival; nicola salerno wrote the lyrics which typically of the song's non-english renderings are independent of the english original, the title translating as "on the sand there was you". also in 1965, drafi deutscher () & his magics recorded a german rendering of "the birds and the bees" entitled "heute male ich dein bild [today i paint your image], cindy lou" which reached no. 3 in germany and no. 5 in austria while the french rendering "bientôt les vacances" (soon the holidays) by monty () reached #11 in france; québécois artist donald lautrec also recorded a french rendering of "the birds and the bees" in 1965, that being "tu dis des bêtises" (you say the nonsense), which spawned a parody recording by jacques desrosiers entitled "il y'a des bibites" (there are some bugs). ambrus kyri () recorded a hungarian rendering of "the birds and the bees" entitled "madarak és méhek" (birds and bees) in 1967. rendered in danish as "blomster og bier" (flowers and bees) by birthe kjær in 1974, "the birds and the bees" was rendered in swedish as "blommor och bin" (flowers and bees) by lyricist keith almgren and recorded by sten & stanley () on their album "musik, dans & party 8" (1993). it was also performed in finnish by laila kinnunen as "kuinka kuu katoaa".
the birds and the bees (jewel akens song)
bees, part of the superfamily apoidea, engage in palynivory extensively, especially in providing pollen for their offspring. to effectively collect, transport, and consume pollen, bees have evolved specialized morphological and behavioral traits. to forage for pollen, bees must first find sources of pollen, which they do so through chemical, visual, and tactile signals given by flowers that have co-evolved adaptations for this purpose, since most flowering plants benefit from the pollination that occurs while bees collect and transport pollen. visual signals especially help guide bees to flowers. with sight adaptations such as the ability to see ultraviolet light, bees home in on the color pattern "targets" of flower petals that guide bees to nectar and pollen. they gather and store pollen together with nectar on specialized hairs and evolved scopal or corbicular constructions on their bodies. bees have also evolved behavioral adaptations that involve some degree of learning. most bees are also either oligolectic or polylectic, where they target specific or more general groups of flowering plants respectively, and their foraging patterns overlap significantly closely during the day and/or seasonally to the bloom periods of these targeted flowers. in the nest, bees will also communicate the locations of good foraging patches to other worker bees in a process called a waggle dance. bees often favor certain foraging patches, and while evidence shows that bumblebees for instance are flexible in their foraging patterns, deciding on different types of flowers based on the pollen's protein:lipid ratios, these patterns directly influence the genetics of the flowering plant populations around them.
