Meet Buzzy — your flatwoods guide.

Who is Buzzy?

The kind of nature show a kindergartener and a homeschool parent can watch together.

Every episode is anchored to one real Florida native — a plant, a pollinator, or a beekeeping concept — and told through the eyes of Buzzy, a bee who has actually lived it. Real hive footage. Real pine flatwoods. Real plants you can find in your own backyard.

No slime. No screaming. No sugar-crash cartoon logic. Just the slow, honest, curious pace of a walk in the woods — with a very charming bee doing the narrating.

Season 1 · 20 episodes

Every episode: one real Florida native.

Season 1 walks kids and grown-ups through the plants, pollinators, and beekeeping concepts that make Florida's pine flatwoods one of the richest — and most quietly weird — habitats in North America.

  1. 01

    What is a brood box?

    Buzzy opens a real hive and shows you where baby bees actually live.

  2. 02

    The saw palmetto secret

    Why every Florida beekeeper watches this plant like a hawk in May.

  3. 03

    Meet the gaillardia

    The wild "blanket flower" you've driven past a thousand times.

  4. 04

    Why bees dance

    A real waggle dance, decoded — and what Buzzy is actually saying.

  5. 05

    Longleaf pine, 300 years old

    The tree that built Florida. And the fire that keeps it alive.

  6. 06

    Black-eyed Susan

    Buzzy's favorite roadside snack — and the pollinators fighting over it.

  7. +14

    More episodes coming

    Bear-proof fences, native azaleas, wiregrass, gopher tortoises, honey extraction day, and more. Full list drops with the pilot.

“The pine flatwoods aren't empty. You just haven't been introduced yet.”
