Would Arthur Askey be considered a folkie? He once sang a song with the chorus

"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz Honeybee, Honeybee
Buzz if you like but don't sting me"

Then there is the American fiddle tune Bumblebee in a Jug, I guess keeping it in a jug would be a threat.

I also rememebered a trumpet piece "Plight of the Bumblebee" but thinking about it a little longer it was Flight not Plight.

Back to the drawing board.
