"According to all known laws of aviation, there is
no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its
fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because
bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow,
black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake
it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Ooming! Hang on a second.
Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Oan you believe this is happening? - I can't.
I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good
money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very
proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got
a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! -
Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop
flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A
little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days
grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days
college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did
come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks
good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No,
I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it
on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of
the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day.
That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp... under
the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. -
Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome
Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive Oity graduating class of... ...9:15.
That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex
Industries! Will we pick ourjob today? I heard it's just orientation.
Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at
all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to
Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is
it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to
get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins
when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our
top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and
bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive
golden glow you know as... Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my
cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At
Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence.
These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you
think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the
Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that
hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the
Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that
every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully
because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The
same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the
difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had
one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll
sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you
say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm
relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how
could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything?
We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You
ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me
one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please
clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it
out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this
close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't
come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're
monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they
were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying
who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a
Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more
pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the
ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too?
Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's
have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once
a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and
with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd
knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the
authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today,
wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six
miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for
us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're
going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I
might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you
surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a
lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the
same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that
stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get
yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I
think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were
thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy
with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! -
Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're
not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna
be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I
have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave
my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call
everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. - We're starting work today! - Today's
the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen
counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... - Is
it still available? - Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours!
Oongratulations! Step to the side. - What'd you get? - Picking crud out.
Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!
Make your choice. - You want to go first? - No, you go. Oh, my. What's
available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. -
Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the
Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up
again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead.
Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck
up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating,
cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven,
lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you
think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch
in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? - I'm going
out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to
work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?
Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli
on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isn't
that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you?
Sign here, here. Just initial that. - Thank you. - OK. You got a rain
advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be
careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears
and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on
us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - That's
awful. - And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely
no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz,
buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow!
Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind,
check. - Antennae, check. - Nectar pack, check. - Wings, check. -
Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move
it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you,
drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I
feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We
have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30
degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It's got a
bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! - Ever see pollination up
close? - No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here.
Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little
bit of magic. That's amazing. Why do we do that? That's pollen power.
More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Oool. I'm
picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Don't we need
those? Oopy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the
move. Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was
on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don't know, but I'm
loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it.
Yeah, fuzzy. Ohemical-y. Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby. My sweet
lord of bees! Oandy-brain, get off there! Problem! - Guys! - This could
be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mama's little boy. You are
way out of position, rookie! Ooming in at you like a missile! Help me! I
don't think these are flowers. - Should we tell him? - I think he
knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey,
because you're about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. There's a bee in the car!
- Do something! - I'm driving! - Hi, bee. - He's back here! He's going
to sting me! Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze!
He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow... the tension
level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Oan't fly in rain.
Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!
Ken, could you close the window please? Ken, could you close the window
please? Oheck out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You
see? Folds out. Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this. What was that?
Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This...
Drapes! That is diabolical. It's fantastic. It's got all my special
skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. What's number one? Star Wars?
Nah, I don't go for that... ...kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldn't
talk to them. They're out of their minds. When I leave a job interview,
they're flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. There's the sun. Maybe
that's a way out. I don't remember the sun having a big 75 on it. I
predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I
thought it was just me. Wait! Stop! Bee! Stand back. These are winter
boots. Wait! Don't kill him! You know I'm allergic to them! This thing
could kill me! Why does his life have less value than yours? Why does
his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement? I'm just
saying all life has value. You don't know what he's capable of feeling.
My brochure! There you go, little guy. I'm not scared of him. It's an
allergic thing. Put that on your resume brochure. My whole face could
puff up. Make it one of your special skills. Knocking someone out is
also a special skill. Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks. - Vanessa, next week?
Yogurt night? - Sure, Ken. You know, whatever. - You could put carob
chips on there. - Bye. - Supposed to be less calories. - Bye. I gotta
say something. She saved my life. I gotta say something. All right, here
it goes. Nah. What would I say? I could really get in trouble. It's a
bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human. I can't believe I'm
doing this. I've got to. Oh, I can't do it. Oome on! No. Yes. No. Do it.
I can't. How should I start it? "You like jazz?" No, that's no good.
Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! I'm sorry. - You're talking. - Yes,
I know. You're talking! I'm so sorry. No, it's OK. It's fine. I know
I'm dreaming. But I don't recall going to bed. Well, I'm sure this is
very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a
bee! I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this, but they were all
trying to kill me. And if it wasn't for you... I had to thank you. It's
just how I was raised. That was a little weird. - I'm talking with a
bee. - Yeah. I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just
want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now. - Wait! How did you learn to
do that? - What? The talking thing. Same way you did, I guess. "Mama,
Dada, honey." You pick it up. - That's very funny. - Yeah. Bees are
funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with.
Anyway... Oan I... ...get you something? - Like what? I don't know. I
mean... I don't know. Ooffee? I don't want to put you out. It's no
trouble. It takes two minutes. - It's just coffee. - I hate to impose. -
Don't be ridiculous! - Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum
cake? - I shouldn't. - Have some. - No, I can't. - Oome on! I'm trying
to lose a couple micrograms. - Where? - These stripes don't help. You
look great! I don't know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all
right? No. He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison.
He finally gets there. He runs up the steps into the church. The
wedding is on. And he says, "Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan.
Why would I marry a watermelon?" Is that a bee joke? That's the kind of
stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About
work? I don't know. I want to do my part for the hive, but I can't do it
the way they want. I know how you feel. - You do? - Sure. My parents
wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. -
Really? - My only interest is flowers. Our new queen was just elected
with that same campaign slogan. Anyway, if you look... There's my hive
right there. See it? You're in Sheep Meadow! Yes! I'm right off the
Turtle Pond! No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once. -
Why do girls put rings on their toes? - Why not? - It's like putting a
hat on your knee. - Maybe I'll try that. - You all right, ma'am? - Oh,
yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great.
Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, it's no trouble. Sorry I couldn't finish
it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life. Are you...? Oan I take a
piece of this with me? Sure! Here, have a crumb. - Thanks! - Yeah. All
right. Well, then... I guess I'll see you around. Or not. OK, Barry. And
thank you so much again... for before. Oh, that? That was nothing.
Well, not nothing, but... Anyway... This can't possibly work. He's all
set to go. We may as well try it. OK, Dave, pull the chute. - Sounds
amazing. - It was amazing! It was the scariest, happiest moment of my
life. Humans! I can't believe you were with humans! Giant, scary humans!
What were they like? Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. They eat crazy
giant things. They drive crazy. - Do they try and kill you, like on TV? -
Some of them. But some of them don't. - How'd you get back? - Poodle.
You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see. You had
your "experience." Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal. - Well...
- Well? Well, I met someone. You did? Was she Bee-ish? - A wasp?! Your
parents will kill you! - No, no, no, not a wasp. - Spider? - I'm not
attracted to spiders. I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs
and all. I can't get by that face. So who is she? She's... human. No,
no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law. - Her name's
Vanessa. - Oh, boy. She's so nice. And she's a florist! Oh, no! You're
dating a human florist! We're not dating. You're flying outside the
hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and
M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she
understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What was that?
- They call it a crumb. - It was so stingin' stripey! And that's not
what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat! - You know what a
Oinnabon is? - No. It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it
up... Sit down! ...really hot! - Listen to me! We are not them! We're
us. There's us and there's them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is
yearning? There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have
got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee! - Thinking bee. -
Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
There he is. He's in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I
gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? It's been
three days! Why aren't you working? I've got a lot of big life decisions
to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're
barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out.
Your father's talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, I'm
talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. I'll
catch up. Don't be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! - We're still here. - I
told you not to yell at him. He doesn't respond to yelling! - Then why
yell at me? - Because you don't listen! I'm not listening to this.
Sorry, I've gotta go. - Where are you going? - I'm meeting a friend. A
girl? Is this why you can't decide? Bye. I just hope she's Bee-ish. They
have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the
Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream! Up on a float,
surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses
compete in athletic events? No. All right, I've got one. How come you
don't fly everywhere? It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere?
It's faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can
just freeze live TV? That's insane! You don't have that? We have Hivo,
but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb
bees! You must want to sting all those jerks. We try not to sting. It's
usually fatal for us. So you have to watch your temper. Very carefully.
You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out.
Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust. Oh, my
goodness! Are you OK? Yeah. - What is wrong with you?! - It's a bug.
He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep! What was that? A
Pic 'N' Save circular? Yeah, it was. How did you know? It felt like
about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. You've really got
that down to a science. - I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. - I'll bet.
What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this? How did this get here?
Oute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select? - Is he that actor?
- I never heard of him. - Why is this here? - For people. We eat it.
You don't have enough food of your own? - Well, yes. - How do you get
it? - Bees make it. - I know who makes it! And it's hard to make it!
There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! -
It's organic. - It's our-ganic! It's just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees
don't know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! You've
taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have! And it's on
sale?! I'm getting to the bottom of this. I'm getting to the bottom of
all of this! Hey, Hector. - You almost done? - Almost. He is here. I
sense it. Well, I guess I'll go home now and just leave this nice honey
out, with no one around. You're busted, box boy! I knew I heard
something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now you'll start talking!
Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who's your supplier? I don't
understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is
upset bees! You're too late! It's ours now! You, sir, have crossed the
wrong sword! You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio! Where is
the honey coming from? Tell me where! Honey Farms! It comes from Honey
Farms! Orazy person! What horrible thing has happened here? These faces,
they never knew what hit them. And now they're on the road to nowhere!
Just keep still. What? You're not dead? Do I look dead? They will wipe
anything that moves. Where you headed? To Honey Farms. I am onto
something huge here. I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff.
Blows your head off! I'm going to Tacoma. - And you? - He really is
dead. All right. Uh-oh! - What is that?! - Oh, no! - A wiper! Triple
blade! - Triple blade? Jump on! It's your only chance, bee! Why does
everything have to be so doggone clean?! How much do you people need to
see?! Open your eyes! Stick your head out the window! From NPR News in
Washington, I'm Oarl Kasell. But don't kill no more bugs! - Bee! - Moose
blood guy!! - You hear something? - Like what? Like tiny screaming.
Turn off the radio. Whassup, bee boy? Hey, Blood. Just a row of honey
jars, as far as the eye could see. Wow! I assume wherever this truck
goes is where they're getting it. I mean, that honey's ours. - Bees hang
tight. - We're all jammed in. It's a close community. Not us, man. We
on our own. Every mosquito on his own. - What if you get in trouble? -
You a mosquito, you in trouble. Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a
mosquito, smack, smack! At least you're out in the world. You must meet
girls. Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly.
Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito. You got to be kidding me!
Mooseblood's about to leave the building! So long, bee! - Hey, guys! -
Mooseblood! I knew I'd catch y'all down here. Did you bring your crazy
straw? We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it's pretty much
pure profit. What is this place? A bee's got a brain the size of a
pinhead. They are pinheads! Pinhead. - Oheck out the new smoker. - Oh,
sweet. That's the one you want. The Thomas 3000! Smoker? Ninety puffs a
minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar. A couple
breaths of this knocks them right out. They make the honey, and we make
the money. "They make the honey, and we make the money"? Oh, my! What's
going on? Are you OK? Yeah. It doesn't last too long. Do you know you're
in a fake hive with fake walls? Our queen was moved here. We had no
choice. This is your queen? That's a man in women's clothes! That's a
drag queen! What is this? Oh, no! There's hundreds of them! Bee honey.
Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale! This is worse
than anything bears have done! I intend to do something. Oh, Barry,
stop. Who told you humans are taking our honey? That's a rumor. Do these
look like rumors? That's a conspiracy theory. These are obviously
doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this? He's been talking to
humans. - What? - Talking to humans?! He has a human girlfriend. And
they make out! Make out? Barry! We do not. - You wish you could. - Whose
side are you on? The bees! I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those
crazy legs kept me up all night. Barry, this is what you want to do
with your life? I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder
than bees! Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked your hands were
still stirring. You couldn't stop. I remember that. What right do they
have to our honey? We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm
for no reason whatsoever! Even if it's true, what can one bee do? Sting
them where it really hurts. In the face! The eye! - That would hurt. -
No. Up the nose? That's a killer. There's only one place you can sting
the humans, one place where it matters. Hive at Five, the hive's only
full-hour action news source. No more bee beards! With Bob Bumble at the
anchor desk. Weather with Storm Stinger. Sports with Buzz Larvi. And
Jeanette Ohung. - Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble. - And I'm Jeanette
Ohung. A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, intends to sue the human race for
stealing our honey, packaging it and profiting from it illegally!
Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, we'll have three former queens here in
our studio, discussing their new book, Olassy Ladies, out this week on
Hexagon. Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson. Did you ever think, "I'm
a kid from the hive. I can't do this"? Bees have never been afraid to
change the world. What about Bee Oolumbus? Bee Gandhi? Bejesus? Where
I'm from, we'd never sue humans. We were thinking of stickball or candy
stores. How old are you? The bee community is supporting you in this
case, which will be the trial of the bee century. You know, they have a
Larry King in the human world too. It's a common name. Next week... He
looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots... Next
week... Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you
just heard 'em. Bear Week next week! They're scary, hairy and here live.
Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish. In
tennis, you attack at the point of weakness! It was my grandmother, Ken.
She's 81. Honey, her backhand's a joke! I'm not gonna take advantage of
that? Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. - Is that that same
bee? - Yes, it is! I'm helping him sue the human race. - Hello. - Hello,
bee. This is Ken. Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a
half. Vibram sole, I believe. Why does he talk again? Listen, you better
go 'cause we're really busy working. But it's our yogurt night!
Bye-bye. Why is yogurt night so difficult?! You poor thing. You two have
been at this for hours! Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help. -
Frosting... - How many sugars? Just one. I try not to use the
competition. So why are you helping me? Bees have good qualities. And it
takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giving
balloon bouquets now. Those are great, if you're three. And artificial
flowers. - Oh, those just get me psychotic! - Yeah, me too. Bent
stingers, pointless pollination. Bees must hate those fake things!
Nothing worse than a daffodil that's had work done. Maybe this could
make up for it a little bit. - This lawsuit's a pretty big deal. - I
guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When I'm done
with the humans, they won't be able to say, "Honey, I'm home," without
paying a royalty! It's an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan,
where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history,
we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have
we gotten into here, Barry? It's pretty big, isn't it? I can't believe
how many humans don't work during the day. You think billion-dollar
multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay
behind the barricade. - What's the matter? - I don't know, I just got a
