About this song
Buzzy Bee Don't Cry tells a small, complete story of kindness: a little bee has lost her tree and cannot fly, so the garden friends give her food, make her laugh, and cheer her back into the sky. Children echo every line and join a clap-stomp-spin participation chorus.
The song ends with a whispered goodbye "I hope you find your lovely tree". One of the softest moments in the My Garden Songs catalogue, and a favourite wind-down ending for parents.
What it teaches: Kindness, empathy, helping others, echo singing.

Buzzy Bee Don't Cry - Lyrics
I saw a bee! (I saw a bee!)
She wasn't happy! (She wasn't happy!)
She was crying! (She was crying!)
Oh no! (Oh no!)
OH NO! (OH NO!)
Buzzy buzzy bee, what do we do?
Buzzy buzzy bee, we'll help you!
Clap clap, stomp stomp, spin around
Let's get Buzzy off the ground!
She lost her tree! (She lost her tree!)
She couldn't fly! (She couldn't fly!)
But she was trying! (But she was trying!)
Oh no! (Oh no!)
OH NO! (OH NO!)
Buzzy buzzy bee, what do we do?
Buzzy buzzy bee, we'll help you!
Clap clap, stomp stomp, spin around
Let's get Buzzy off the ground!
I gave her food! (I gave her food!)
I made her laugh! (I made her laugh!)
And now she's flying! (And now she's flying!)
Go go! (Go go!)
GO GO! (GO GO!)
Buzzy buzzy bee, look at you!
Buzzy buzzy bee, you flew, you flew!
Clap clap, stomp stomp, wave goodbye
Bye buzzy bee, fly high, fly high!
Bye buzzy bee… bye buzzy bee…
I hope you find your lovely tree.
