Simplified Meaning:

When you are keeping yourself occupied with work or activities, you don't have the time to feel sad or worry about negative things. Imagine a bee that is always flying around, gathering nectar. It is so busy doing its job that it doesn’t think about problems or sadness. For example, if you are feeling down, you could try doing something productive or engaging, like taking up a hobby, going for a walk, or helping someone in need. By focusing on these activities, your mind is occupied, and you don't dwell on negative feelings as much. Staying busy can be a good approach to managing sadness because it pushes those negative thoughts aside, at least for a while. It’s like giving your mind a break from worrying. So, whenever you feel upset, try finding something to do that keeps you busy and see if it helps improve your mood.
