Barry B. Benson, a bee who has just graduated from college, is disillusioned at his lone career choice: making honey. On a special trip outside the hive, Barry's life is saved by Vanessa, a florist in New York City. As their relationship blossoms, he discovers humans actually eat honey, and subsequently decides to sue us.
This movie contains 34 potentially triggering events.
There are discussions about the way the world works (humans taking honey from the bees and not giving them anything for it) and if this way of life is right.
There are several instances of the main character not being with his family where it is not clear if he said goodbye. But this is at no point important for the movie and every time, the main character is reunited with his friends and family.
There is a scene where a character tries to kills the main character (a bee) in the bathroom and the character's girlfriend stops him. He then starts yelling at her but is in no way abusive, not physically and not mentally, it is just a heated argument.
No, but a bee’s entire stinger comes off but he somehow lives even though in real life a bee would die from that. Also male bees don’t have stingers in real life.
Yes, a character stabs themselves with a fork (no blood, only a quick ,ouch')because they can't believe what they're seeing and think they're dreaming. But this isn't done with the typical purpose of self harm.
A bee does sting someone and looses his sting. This would cause the bees death and the bee knows this. The bee does survive and their actions weren't in any way suicidal.
Two characters talk about making a suicide pact but they quickly decide against it and it was only a theoretical question.
A character has a meltdown after trying to kill the main character (a bee) and being stopped by their girlfriend. They are very upset and list all the things that are going wrong (disruption in routine, a bee inside the house, the bee being more important than themselves, etc.) while kind of screaming and making a lot of gestures.
Not directly underwater.
A character swims in a pool of honey and almost drowns in a toilet because an other character flushes the toilet in order to kill them. But there is no underwater scene to this.
There is a scene when Barry visits a beekeeper's facility and there is a brief interaction mentioning a bee queen. There is a portrait shown of her, and Barry calls her a "man in women's clothes" and a "drag queen".
Even though it is never actually mentioned that they are in any romantic relationship, a bee and a human get very close, definitely closer than a typical friendship.
There’s a “joke” about Barry’s parents not beeing his real parents and many jokes about all the bees beeing cousins. One of the few things about this movie that’s actually accurate to real bees, as all bees have the queen as their mom.
Mosquito character says he’s always traveling and is kind of the bug version of a hitchhiker, but he’s a bug. With the exception of bugs that have colonies such as bees and ants, most bugs don’t really have a proper “home” and just FLY about (haha bug pun)
The whole movie is sad for anyone knowledgeable about bees and who gets annoyed when there’s inaccurate portrayals of one of their favorite bugs (like me) but no, the ending isn’t sad.
insectes stuck on a windscreen. At least one of them is dead, and barry (main charector) doesnt even care hes right next to their corpse.Its messed up. He's even happy when one of them falls offthe windscreen to their suposed death
