Has anyone noticed this on Ms Rachel?!

Well it’s unlikely children are able to catch bumble bees anyway

That’s not appropriate for young children. Like let’s not. But my daughter also doesn’t watch ms Rachel. I cannot stand the sound of her voice

My son used to sing this at preschool, he liked the song/tune but said he doesn't want to hurt bees! I don't agree with the song lyrics at all

That's an old song, we used to sing it in school. I'd agree the content is a little dated, but I never took it as a message to go out start killing bees. 🤷 Lots of nursery rhymes are horrible when you actually think about them - babies falling off of tree boughs, Humpty Dumpty cracking open, the Lizzie Borden song. I think what matters more is the values you teach your kid - if you don't like what Ms Rachel is singing, you don't have to watch!

It’s not a ms Rachael thing lol that is a well known song 😂😂

It’s not that serious

My son is obsessed with this one and doing the actions But yeah this isn’t a miss rachel original or anything Also if the bee stings you it’s dead anyway

Most nursery rhymes have dark themes. I don't think it's that serious

She sings about sharks snapping fishes out of the sea too lol I think a few of her songs are weird tbh

We were just saying the other day that aren't they strange lyrics - "won't my mummy be so proud of me"

It is kinda of weird. I’d skip tht part

This is a very common song I’ve heard in different daycares. Like super common. Everyone likes to crap on Mrs Rachel all the time. If you don’t like her fine but move on.

I used to sing this song in infant school 40 years ago. I thought it was odd then but it didn't compel me to kill bees!

@Danielle oh wow! I can't believe people get away with publishing stuff like this I remember there was someone on here who was advertising books for children that were highly inappropriate, like, "call sasauges little willies to help your child eat them better" Everyone in the comments was supportive but I guess I was the odd one out cuz that's disgusting🤮🤢

This song isn’t a Ms Rachel thing, it is an older song and it’s actually probably better than all the really old nursery rhymes….Ring a round a rosey, muffin man, when the wind blows the cradle will rock. Mama Nous has a version of the song that’s got nicer lyrics though if you’re truly concerned about it.

The bumble bee song is a SUPPPER old song. I got it from barney lol 😆 my mama sang it to me and all my siblings. It's nostalgic to me. YES DO NOT KILL THE BEES but there's plenty of old songs we sings we sing that are weird, dark, or wrong. To me it's the same difference

I'm pretty sure the message from the bumblebee song was supposed to be "don't catch bees with your bare hands."

I do understand that this is an old nursery rhyme but I just don’t like that it’s a baby bee 😂😅 but I also don’t like how most of her videos have overstimulated my daughter because it goes from abc’s or something educational right into a song and idk if it’s a combination video or that’s how she does her videos but after it happening twice we just don’t watch her

What the actual…😳 I’m speechless. I love bees and show my little one the beauty of nature and its life. I can’t believe they show something like this…disgusting

Lol I didn't know people took killing bees this seriously? 🤣 this comment section is very interesting. If yall ain't like the lady yall could've said that cuz this is wild 🤣

So many nursery rhymes are creepy. Ashes ashes we all fall down 😬🫣

Smh … it’s really not this serious.

Most old nursery rhymes are dark, it’s not that deep. Ring a ring a roses is about the plague..

I have to skip it my partner gets infuriated he loves bees and deffo doesn’t want our sons to think it’s ok to squish bees 🐝

You guys are new here? Welcome. Those are nursery rhymes for ya. Most of them are pretty creepy.

I think most kids songs are so weird. Do you know what song I don’t like!? Well, a lot, but the duck song!!! All the little ducks need to report back to mother duck IMMEDIATELY! 😭

@Jasmine well yeah because they’re dying out and without bees we have nothing. They’re crucial as well as being living creatures, weird that a lot of you don’t. Kids learn and act from what they hear..”if Miss Rachel does it so can I”

This isn’t a song ms Rachel wrote. This is a song that’s existed for a super super long time. The message of the song is to not try to catch bees at all.

@Courtney 😂 at no point is anyone thinking ms Rachel is out there killing bees

The bunny one always kills me 🤣 “shall we wake them with a merry tune, they’re so still are they ill wake up soon” Them bunnies is 💀

Okay but she didn’t make the song up🙄 this was a song when I was a kid and I’m almost 27 🤣 Sure, she could have always covered the song and redone the lyrics but also, it’s just a song? As long as you’re teaching the values you want them to learn? I heard loads of similar songs and rhymes but never took them as a lesson to go out and do these things as I was taught otherwise. It’s just a tune 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also refuse to play Ms Rachel purely because she just grates my ears 😂

@Kate this one always gets me! But why does mother duck keep going out each day if she loses a child each time?! 😰

@Rebecca great point! It’s a bad situation all around.

@Kate please just stay home mother duck 😅

I don’t understand how anyone watching this crap, I literally had it on for 5 minutes and was like helllll no, I would rather shit in my hands and clap than watch another minute of this woman 🤣

All the mess over this song reminds me of the Satanic Panic scares of the 80s. Everyone was afraid kids would learn satanism from listening to rock and heavy metal. Or the 'violent video games' of the 90s. Kids don't learn their ideals solely from media. They might mimic certain aspects of it, but their primary role models are, guess what? Their parents. Most of a child's socialization before around school age comes from their parents. The values that parents teach their children, and the way they parent them, has FAR more influence than a song about squishing bees. Kids who become violent most often come from broken homes and neglectful or abusive parents, as it has to do with how their brains are developed through neglectful or abusive parenting. It has very little to do with the media they consume. There are plenty of studies on this subject, folks, read into it if you're interested, but it's really not that deep.

@Hayley I did at first until I actually started to like her 🤣 also my kid learnt to count to 20 and his ABC’s by 18 months. She might grow on you hahaha. He’s 2 next month and rarely watches her anymore but still sings some of the songs x

My nieces loved this song (not ms Rachel version since we aren’t Ms Rachel people) and they both know that we only hurt “mean bees” as my sister is OBSESSED with bees and she’s taught them all about them. It’s just a song, as long as you teach your child to not hurt the nice bees, it’s fine

Not to sound insensitive but I am finding these comments HILARIOUS

@Brittany facts. At this point everything would have to be cancelled 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s just a nursery rhyme.

@Rebecca mother duck is stressed TF out from all those kids she’s got ok!!!!! She needed a break 😂😂😂😂😂

@SquishyMommy1 fair 😂😂😂

@Hayley you baby will learn a lot from her

This rhyme was actually one of the reasons we stopped watching Miss Rachel. We'd never heard of the rhyme and I wouldn't be proud of my daughter for squishing a bee! 😂

@MJ_xo LOVE THIS

@Isla I wouldn’t be proud either not only would she be killing a really important wildlife creature but she’d get hurt in the process 🤍 x

Yea!! This song always made me uncomfortable

@Kay 🤣

@PJ no obviously not but my point is children do what they hear and copy what they see.

@Hayley I don't love it either but baby does signs back and clamps along to songs so it's more interactive than cartoons, we also use miss Katie who's English, very cringe but it's not for me it's for baby
