[[folder: Everyone's New Around Here]]
* When Barry and Adam are in line to select their jobs, the career assigner bee remarks that they must be a couple of newbies. But if bees keep the same job for their whole life, shouldn't every bee in line be a newbie?
** It's probably a multi-layered joke. Some bees may have quit their jobs to re-register. Alternatively so many bees die frequently that they really are the only two newbies. Alternatively alternatively he was only referring to Barry and Adam the the "'''couple''' of newbies".

[[folder: No Californian Bees]]
* Why bother stealing a Tournament of Roses float and fly it across the country? Aren't there bees in California? Also, why bother stealing the float at all? Since the post-trial montage showed Barry working with the authorities couldn't he have arranged for them to procure a float for them? Surely the florists would not be so selfish as to doom the planet for the sake of their art?
** Pollen will not bring a flower back to life; it specifically had to be fresh flowers, and the float was the only remaining batch left.

[[folder: Age]]
* At the start, apparently a bee's school years and college span the length of a few days, yet the main storyline of the movie is just as long if not longer. Are the bees rapidly aging? Do they just stop aging at a certain point?
** Maybe the whole court case and story in general does span a signifcant length of the bees' lives.

[[folder: Confusing the Bee-Jesus Out of Us]]
* Although hilarious, if there is a belief in a bee version of Jesus, then does that mean that bees have a concept of Christianity? Or do they have their own religion and it's just coincidence their savior is also named Jesus?
** The bees also speak English. Clearly their society has evolved parallel to ours, even in minute details such as language and the existence of Larry King, perhaps due to similar circumstances shaping their culture; conversely, if you are Christian, you could say that Jesus chose to walk among bees too, perhaps in the form of a bee at a different time (Probably only several years ago at the rate bee time moves). As they are clearly sentient beings he may have decided to give them the chance to be saved as well. Bee-Jesus probably received the bee equivalent of crucifixion, only to rise after three bee-days (probably like 30 human seconds), preach, and ascend to bee-heaven. It really depends on your bee-liefs.

[[folder: Illegal Lawsuit]]
* So it's Bee Law number one not to talk to humans, but everyone is fine with Barry's lawsuit? His lawsuit that involves speaking to hundreds of humans at once?
** At that point they kind of stopped caring thanks to Barry telling the rest of the hive that he already filed a lawsuit against humanity. What's the point of trying to keep a secret that's already out?
** There's also the fact that the goal of Barry's lawsuit was to put an end to bees being brazenly exploited by humans -- humans who, as a result of Bee Law number one, [[PoorCommunicationKills had no way of knowing that bees in this world are sapient]]. Under the circumstances, one would have to be the very embodiment of LawfulStupid to object to what Barry is doing.

[[folder: Friends or Couple?]]
* Barry and Vanessa's relationship is confusing. Are they platonic friends, or more than friends?
*** It was platonic but Barry did seem to have a little crush on Vanessa.

[[folder: No Pollination, No Plants]]
* Why does the bee not working cause the flowers to wilt? Putting aside the fact that bees are not the only pollinators, plants don't need pollination to live, only to reproduce!
** Maybe they're wilting naturally and the problem is that they can't make more.
** This is a movie where humans only recently noticed that bees could talk or raise objections to their mistreatment. Maybe the ''plants'' are intelligent too, but even the bees don't realize it. And the plants are on hunger strike over the bees' neglect.

[[folder: Draining the Stinger]]
* What is the actual meaning of "drain the stinger"?
** Probably a metaphor for venom, even if [[ArtisticLicenceBiology bees don't secrete it]]. Unlike wasps.

[[folder: Wild Bees]]
* Barry's hive was a natural hive in the middle of Central Park, and wasn't being harvested for honey. The bees in natural hives go out, pollinate, and make honey because they use it throughout their daily lives (gas, soap, mouthwash, swimming pools, etc). Hell, it's seemingly their primary, if not only, energy source. So why did the lawsuit mandate that wild bees stop producing honey too?
** The lawsuit didn't mandate bees stop producing, the lawsuit made it so humans had to give back a ton of honey, meaning there was so much, making more was dangerous because the storage tanks overflowed.

[[folder: No Queen?!]]
* How is the Queen Bee of Barry's hive never shown being involved with literally anything that happens? Barry breaks numerous laws that the Bees have which were presumably created by the Queen but he is never brought to her to justify himself and I would think that teaming up with a human to sue humanity is something that he would need permission to do. Plus, as the leaders of the hives, I would think they would have some leeway in the lawsuit but we don't see a single Queen bee among the ones in the courtroom. In fact, are Queens even ackledged in the film?
