Blake Shelton Premieres New Single ‘Honey Bee’ During 2011 ACM Awards

Blake Shelton, looking sharp and sexy in all black, took a break from co-hosting duties at the ACMs Sunday night to premiere his new single, 'Honey Bee.'

The new tune is the perfect summertime song about young love and the sweet romances that occur during those warm months where honey suckles bloom and honey bees swarm.

Shelton's performance was one of the rare serious moments of the night for the singer, who kept the crowd in stitches with his commentary and jokes as he hosted the awards for the first time along side of Reba McEntire.

Besides co-hosting and his highly-anticipated performance, Shelton was also nominated for ACM's Top Male Vocalist of the Year, where he competed against Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and George Strait.
