"Bumble Bees" (originally called "Bumble Bee") is the eleventh single release by the Scandinavian dance-pop group Aqua overall, and the first since "Lollipop (Candyman)" (1997) not to be released in the United Kingdom. The song more closely resembled their earlier releases, not possessing the slower beat of "Turn Back Time" or the anthemic, orchestral features of "Cartoon Heroes". Taken from the album Aquarius, the song was released in several countries in August 2000, peaking at #34 on the Swedish Singles Chart.
The video for the song was one of five Aqua videos directed by Peder Pedersen. It parodied the group's status as a 'Barbie band', gained due to the success of their breakthrough hit "Barbie Girl". It featured the group trying to make a good music video, but being hampered by a poor director, faulty equipment and the weight of René Dif being too much for a backstage crewman holding his support rope. The video was featured heavily on MTV Europe's "Comedy Weekend" in 2001.
