Maya The Bee - Opening Theme

[JLC31383]

Did they release a Japanese version with a different intro in 1975 and later an American version with this intro in the 1990's?

[Hellwyr]

biene maya german is much better.... sorry guys bt tji sgongs tells u... please dont watch thi shsow.. O.o

[81laurenjean]

@NameNotAlreadyTaken2 It's like we have the same mind! Haha nice screen name btw.

[NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

man, this song was burned into my brain at a young age. but now that i look at the video for it, that was animation cheaper than what you see on deviantart. i never realized it was that bad when i was like 7 or 8. still, a catchy as hell turn.

[AgaCarrot]

even tough I find english language beautiful (it's my favorite language) I find english version of this song very bad. Not because of the bad quality of the video but the song it self is much worse. I like the polish one better.

[dancestr123]

this show is adorable!!!! my brother us to watch this when he was a little boy.

[dianaforlive]

Even though this opening song is not bad, I like the one that is in german much better!

[radically4rad]

I had no idea that this show aired in the United States, let alone was dubbed in English! This used to be my favorite show when I was little in Poland and thought that it was only aired in Europe.

[blossomkiwi]

the german one is much better! (although i'm problably just more used to it)

[PsychoticChibiiUsa]

Ahhh...childhood :D

[toonmama6]

please upload some episodes please!!!!!!

[masoudfun1996]

What network did this air on?

[Tosiak97]

The polish version is the best ;D

[BlueLimeMan]

Oh man... memory's. Loved that cartoon.

[psycopower90]

End's gonna end because of Maya's prediction...

[ininja32]

I had no idea that this show was an old school anime.

[shvybzik]

Amazing... I hear this song and after all these years still want to hit my sister for hogging the TV to watch Maya the Bee.

[fragmental]

I watched all the other shows from this era. My young self must have skipped this one.

[pnutbutterprincess82]

Awesomeness I loooooooooooooooooooove this cartoon

[starry61]

My kids used to watch this show everyday back on Nick before they started running shows that "teach". David the Gnome, Sharon, Lois and Braum's Elephant Show, a show about koala bears, and a few others...this theme song was running through my head today but I couldn't remember all the words..thanks for posting this, it was driving me crazy, now I remember the words!

[whiskerz321]

My name is maya..... Btw i dont look like that xD

[TheApachacha]

Thank god it's not Gott.

....And if you don't live in Germany or the Czech republic you are probably totally clueless about what I just said :P

[uppuhakobi]

@TheApachacha

stimmt! das ist definitiv nicht "die goldene stimme prags"! ;D

[inlovewithKStewart22]

I only saw one episode, but I loved it.

[rivioni]

oh my god i remember this and loved it

[quantumnaruto]

This would be a great techno song :D

[quantumnaruto]

Wow and I still know the lyrics :D

[whiskerz321]

Ok. So my math teacher's daughter loved this song so he whistles the theme song everyday! The "maaaaayyyaa...maya the bee" part :p its funny though xD

[Hannelle84]

Why not sing Karel Gott? :-D

[ambicraig]

Awh! This takes me wayyyy back. I was a wee lass when this was on Nickelodeon :) I used to love this show, The Noozles, David the Nome, Muppet Babies and Eureka's Castle :) So many cute, precious cartoons back then.

[MsGrashupfer]

Майя все, мы любим Майю Май, майя, майя, Майя о себе нам раскажи

[emurami]

Fuck..everyone used to call me ''maya'' when i was growing up..never knew what it was till now

[domirules28]

one of the original nick jr. tv shows....aired at 9:30am weekdays just before eureeka's castle...

[spacered]

It Aweful Song! I like Japanese Version. When I was a Little Watch Maya the Bee Arabic Dub or Italian Dub Rerun in 1990's. Original Dub in 1980's in Italy or Middle East. I Never Watching This in English.

[anavywife28]

ooh yea, this song had been playing in my head for years, i am so glad i found the theme song to put some closure to how maya looked.. i just couldnt place her face lol

[Yuzersef]

Can any one tell me where can i find the RUSSIAN version of this theme !!!

[quiktymevideo]

Nick Jr. really had a lot of anime shows back in the day.

[YesterdayLand1]

@quiktymevideo

yup!!! ahhhhhh :( the anime back then is different then the anime now..like the anime now seems much more beutiful if you'd say. I loved this show and intro song.

[Hemingray]

Wow, de ja vu, I remember watching this as an itty bitty kid! to this day, I can still sing along to this intro.

[DarkAngelbaby1985]

@Hemingray When I was younger my nana said "That I used to say that damn maya"

[azhussleman211]

those were the good ol days its garbage now

[doodlesandlolly]

i was named after maya the bee

[popbeauty85]

I've been looking everywhere for this show i just couldnt remember the name! I used to love it. It came on after The Elephant Show.

[ker8]

omg, i am so happy i found this vid! i always mention this show when ppl talk abt childhood shows & nobody's heard of it! i was starting to think i dreamed it up!

[newdeals1]

[punca]

@newdeals1 haha i'm maya too

[AGpandalover]

I have a baby cousin Maya and she loves this song!!!

[vaughangarrick]

this is not the tune I knew growing up--we had the german original sung in english

[a4easter]

Good show poor audio quality

[BenW783a]

@a4easter Found in the description at the time I originally uploaded: "Sorry about the low volume. The tape was pretty old, and this is the best I could get out of it." It's a lie, though, I'm afraid to say. The description should really read: "Sorry about the low volume: The tape is ancient." :)

[UnstoppableJae]

buzzing here and buzzing there....great..GREAT times.

[KristinKellyrose]

Lol.. I used to watch this.. sigh..

[Frozenflutter]

@KristinKellyrose Although I haven't heard of this show, one of the voice actresses of a different show hinted in this video about a reboot of this show. watch?v=jBm51wkMYX4 <--- @ 0:13:22. She's going to play Maya or something. So uh yeah ._.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

WHY CAN"T I FIND THE THEMESONG WITHOUT MASSIVE DISTORTION

[BenW783a]

@TheReasonWhyGuy If you're referring to the hissing noise in the video, it's probably because the only copies you can currently find are all old (Read: Ancient) VHS transfers.

[Enelar]

@TheReasonWhyGuy I have clear audio of it but no video

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

@Enelar could you upload it and send me a link? ;D

[myanichole1]

lol my mom named me after Mya the bee and guess what i love Maya the bee there only 2 difference between me and Maya the bee im not a bee..... ( i wish i was ^.^) and my name is M Y A without the a before the y,,,, but both Mya and Maya are pronounced the name and i act just like Maya the bee coincidence?

[Dulcimerist]

Whoa! The people who created Power Rangers produced Maya the Bee, too?

[Rendosian01]

This brings back memories of a time when life was simple for people my age. Thanks for the post!

[holla06]

when i was really young, my mama told me i would love watching this show lolll i cant even remember hahaha

[xHollowfiedx]

god i don't know why i remembered this but i'm glad i came looking for it! lol

[japstoryeditor]

Was there any show from my childhood that Haim Saban didn't produce?

[blindeblanke]

Was dit nie altyd in Afrikaans nie?

[PriviaKeys]

my mum recorded this show for us we used to watch the same tape (yes tape!) alll the time

[Xunkun]

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn, I remember this......

[videofieldsoldier]

I'm sorry to say this but the English intro isn't even remotely able to hold a candle to the German opening of Maya The Bee...

[Tyler3967]

Holy smokes! I remember watching this on YTV. Ah good old times. I miss the classic years. :)

[Saora]

I remember seeing this on Nickelodeon when I was a kid. Cute little show it was :)

[issareign]

the nostalgia just makes me so sad

[ShinShien1981]

Oh, man I LOVED this show! Is there any possible way to find the episodes nowadays?

[CyborgGirlAt0li]

And I was named after Maya the bee! Literally!

My mum thought it would be funny to name me this way coz apparently I looked like her when I was tiny!! :)

[kene92376]

awww man! memories!! i'm 28 and i remember this show! i miss television like this. maya the bee, eureka's castle, david the gnome, pee wee's playhouse (before we knew he was a perv)

[issareign]

@kene92376 lol theyre all pervs. the entire tv industry is run by satanist filth, believe me.

[SweeetCherryPieAyAy]

@issareign yeppers!

[mrpalmettofan]

watched the show when i was a kid nice job

[mrpalmettofan]

watched the show when i was a kid great job

[carmenlee87]

I had the curtains

[Marceize]

[leahalex411]

me and sister love the theme song we just love it

[PENNYSCORPINA]

loved this cartoon!!!!! i never missed one episode... i was even dressed at halloween as maya the bee...it brings back such good memories

[LadyMonsterFace]

that was my favorite show as a kid!

[SuperHollygrovechick]

this seems somewhat familliar. My family said I LOVED this show. I had to be 2yrs old. I dont remeber. But it looks cute. I like the theme :)

[TheScrappydiva]

Oh my gosh.... I grew up in South Africa and Maya the Bee was dubbed into Afrikaans for us. Its amazing to see how different the theme tune is!

[veerleke]

@TheScrappydiva yes i dont understand, in all european languages they stick to the really great and original tune, only for americans they had to water it down to..well..this. Somehow more of a generic shitty version ..

[cuttyflam]

this show is the reason why i use to catch bees by the wing... with my bare hands.

[BRm2008]

i used to watch this

[looneytoon76]

Haim Saban? Isn't he the Power Rangers guy?

[mwells219]

@looneytoon76 to be accurate, he's the guy who took japanese super sentai shows and added stuff with shitty american actors and called it Power Rangers.

[NewYork99999]

I didn't like the show, but I liked the theme song. Maaaaya.. Maya the bee.. I'd change channel after the themesong. XD Rather be watching David the Gnome

[BenW783a]

@NewYork99999 Which had a very good Opening Theme itself. Thanks for the comment! :)

[PocketHamHam]

@BenW783a I love both of these shows~

[23mariho]

@NewYork99999 Hahahahhahahahaha that is sooo funny OMG

[irishmafia665]

@NewYork99999

thats what got me here lol

[MsAgnosticatheist]

@NewYork99999 OMG I loved David the Gnome too!

[Herbgarden]

@NewYork99999 - you freaking douchebag loser . - it's the Best Cartoon EVER made !

[shairaptor]

@DopeMcDoperson you suck. maja is the best. but only the german version not the english :)

[peano0t]

oooooh my goodness! this brings back so many memories!! =D

this was one of my favorite shows. ^___^

[MsAnnaKay]

I love the German version of this show. :[ man I miss the show. They should bring it on tv sometime! On Nick. :)

[TheHilaryous1]

@MsAnnaKay On Nick? Wtf are you kidding me?

If you are German, you'd know, that they show it on Kika -.- And they wouldn't show it in Nick anyways ^^

[BenW783a]

@DopeMcDoperson lol, alright. Thanks for dropping by regardless and enjoy your trek through my YT Channel.

[BenW783a]

@DopeMcDoperson And yet you took the time to stop in, watch the opening, and leave a comment. Come on, you know it brings back a little nostalgia :)

[bvg83]

@BenW783a in latin america was a successful cartoon

[ang5523]

When I was younger I cracked my nana up when this show came on I said that damn maya

[xxSonyBoy1xx]

time goes by way too fast.

[Debaser86]

i'm 24 and barely remember this show, i must have been such a little ass kid back then

[RicanPapi2385]

WOW!!!!! I watched this when I was like 5 years old. David the gnome...eureeka's castle...what a trip down memory lane....thanks for posting

[mayale147]

haha i used to watch it all the time when i was a little child :P

[MyNameIsSteveYesitis]

the Serbian version theme song is soooo much better than the English... i'm not trying to disrespect, i'm just saying

[1987diamonds]

sooo i was 4 yrs. old when this show came on... i used to sing the hell outta this song! i miss the 90's :(

[EZR09]

I watched Maya the Bee when I was little.

[MissVivian87]

lol omg i used 2 love this when i was a toddler!

[RVTRichie]

Great childhood memories I was like 6 years old* Thank you for sharing this =)

By the way-

I agree with you @BenW783a They should have a classic Nick night.

[MsJessism]

I first saw this show around 9. This was a really good show and so educational for kids!!! I never forgot any word to the theme song

[olaf761]

cOOL. Maybe it was destiny. Maybbe.

[chocospa1]

OMG man....I am not alone.... when I mention this to my fiance(And she swears she's a cartoon guru) Now I can show her...and Yeah this cartoon was tight....Yall remember how afraid Maya and them were of the the Hornet...lol...

[EPSmom]

This takes me back to my childhood. I didn't think anyone remember this cartoon.

[suspekt29]

I dont recall being a fan of this particular cartoon but it reminds me of a time where there was quality programming on TV. Hell, I even watched Nick Jr. and I was just a tad too old for it at the time.

[KBEAMON08]

OMG! i was just telling my 8 yr old about this show. I use to watch it when I was about 7 y/o. So glad you put it on here.

[marsan079]

When I was in the 5th grade I used to have a MAD crush on this girl in my class and me her would watch this show during the summer on NICK jr. I guess thats why it still reminds me of her to this day!! I miss her,she gave me my first kiss and erection!XD

[CrnSal]

This was my favorite show when I was little!

Always cheers me up!

=D

[bunnygirle26]

awww i remember this I was a kid when i saw it it was a good show for kids.

[JOEHATCH213]

EPIC SONG, goddamn my childhood is coming back to me. Does anybody remember that other cartoon where there were koala bears and another dimension? Id like to know the name of that show

[PleezeMurderUsCheeze]

@JOEHATCH213 dont kno if u seen the vids on the side but that cartoon was called "noozles" its so crazy seeing this opening and that 1. i mustve been 6 watching it, im 25 now lol..thanks for reminding me and thats to BenW783a for uploading...mannn so many memories coming back...

[JOEHATCH213]

@PleezeMurderUsCheeze yea write after i wrote that i saw that noozles vid, whatta crazy ass show that was

[KaldeaX]

Why can't I remember this!! I must have watched it as I was a Nick Jr freak....just too young I guess.

[Rachelscomment]

My son used to watch this when he was little. He's 21 now. I still sing it to him from time to time but I started to forget how the lyrics go. Then I thought, I'll try YouTube and OMG it's here! YouTube is so awesome it has everything! Thanks for posting it! ;-)

[pestcontrol3]

My daughter loved this cartoon when she was a toddler- and now she's leaving for college next week : ( !! Sooo, I'm doing creepy things like looking for things I remember she loved when she was little so I can recapture a little bit of that time. I loved raising her more than life itself- she's a great girl!

[BASCKIT13]

how did you get this i must have been 6 or 5 when this was on ytv im 22 now i would still watch it if it was still on tv thanx man

[BenW783a]

@BASCKIT13 I found an old VHS tape that had this and an episode of The Littl' Bits that I used to record MTB and TLB on from Nickelodeon one morning. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[tallgirl84]

@BenW783a

I rememeber when all there was was ABC cartoons (around here anyways) and Nickelodeon wasn't until I was about 8 (i'm 11/23/1984)... anyone else remember when Disney channel was as expensive as HBO? lol

[BASCKIT13]

@BenW783a what year did you record this and what  other shows do u have on tape

[BenW783a]

@BASCKIT13 This was recorded around 1990-1991 I think. I have some other Nick shows on it and I might have some original Nick programmign on it as well that could be an indicator, but I'll have to find the tape again. I have this, and episode of The Littl' Bits, Noozles the Super Mario Bros./Zelda cartoons, The Real Ghost Busters and just a whole bunch of other stuff. If I can ever get all my media gathered, I plan on expanding my website and including downloads to my home-burned DVD images.

[BASCKIT13]

@BenW783a wwhy did u tape it if u dont mind me asking

[BenW783a]

@BASCKIT13 I honestly have no idea. I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time, and I just don't remember. A theory I have, though, is that I may have taped it soley for the opening/ending theme songs. I've always loved the theme songs from cartoons and TV shows from back then.

[rosedrop13]

@BASCKIT13 - lol wow same! X3

[BASCKIT13]

htis show is the best on ever

[oachmiezei]

[sarabella]

OMG! I loved this show! Is there a way you can upload this again with louder volume?

[chrmd10]

wow love this show gotta show my lil ones some real ni ni ni ni ni ni ni nick nickelodeon

[Tick386]

OMG my childhood relived. I love you(Not in homosexual way tho).

[BenW783a]

@Tick386 Funny thing is, I didn't think of it in a homosexual way until you mentioned it. Kind of ironic, but funny nonetheless :) Thanks for commenting.

[Tick386]

@BenW783a Yea i only said the no homo part to make u laugh

[BenW783a]

@Tick386 lol, you succeeded. Glad you enjoy the video!

[socal1982]

@Tick386 Hahaha

[OohMitch]

Vanguard Nick Jr. before Yo Gabba Gabba and Dora and Blue's Clues

[UnmaskedTuxedo]

Long live Nippon Animation!

[WinterxBreezex07]

According to a cassette tape I found that had my brother and mom singing this song, I watched this when I was about 2 years old (21 now).

I feel so old :I

[AADudley]

Remember when Nick Jr. was good?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[gigantor21]

This is one of the first shows I EVER watched--I was, like, 2 at the time. Only found out recently it was an anime series. XD

[babytweety77]

omggggggggggggggggg i found it!!! no one ever knows what i'm talking about.. Thank you for uploading this!!

[JTHMBirdGuy777]

Why does this remind me of the Butters theme?

[limak24]

OMG I didn't know this show had an English version! I always watched it in Polish when I was small, although I live in Canada. It must have been more popular in Poland, since their opening sequence has over 3 million views. "Pszczolka Maja"

[sweetlykaoru]

I LOVED this show. I had no idea it was an anime until a few weeks ago (which explains why I'm so into anime now). I got started early! Loved this, and sang it a lot as a kid too! :)

[HeidiLew1]

I loved this show!!! Everyone i know acts like it never existed I'm so glad you posted this I have proof now.

[OperaSpider]

@HeidiLew1 Exactly what I was about to say, every time I've brought it up to people in conversations about old shows, they've looked at me like I'm nuts...i think I even asked my mom if the show actually existed just to make sure it wasn't a figment of my 3-year-old imagination Haha

[shottsy85]

I used to LOVE this show when I was really little, but like no one I have ever talked to remembered it or ever heard of it. Thanks so much for posting!!

[HAZTRODAMUS]

Haha thanks ..now I have proof this show existed :)

[ChanelLopez87]

omg I remember! I loved this!

[nexas69]

i use to love that show when i was little.

[xaviervonrottie]

Haha I remember this! Did not ever really miss it after it was off the air but I still remember it very well!

[onexero1]

Maya the bee looks like Ponyo

[HDtvvideos]

I used to watch it in Spanish in Venezuela, then in NYC I watched a clip in Arabic on a local channel. Brings back memories.

[elmando5]

Is it just me or does MAYA THE BEE look a lot like the child actress Tatum O'Neal in the movie PAPER MOON for which she won an Oscar for?

[ChechenPride]

i used to watch it when i was a little kid. so much nostalgia

[sstevocamaro]

I remember watching this when I was about 4 or 5. I am 25 now!!!

[issareign]

memories, kinda sad and nostalgic. i remember watching this in the morning waiting for kindergarden class to start.

[Kapital601]

Excellent Cartoon!...Watched it all the time as a kid..

[sharpezor]

oh my god, so sad :(

my childhood, ill never have it back.

[MightyNeonFraa]

Tragically, Maya met a grisly end when her colony was discovered by a troop of Japanese hornets.
