- Captain Obvious Reveal: Mild-mannered, tweedy, stammering Manfred is the killer behind it all. This really isn't that surprising, given that he's the only other person on the island who keeps bees in the first place, and every single other character aside from Hargrove that the movie has introduced — Doris, Vicki's agent, Mr. Hawkins the pub landlord, Tess the dog, Ronnie Wood — wouldn't make sense as the mastermind, but the movie's sole attempts at covering up the twist are Hargrove as the world's smelliest Red Herring and Manfred repeatedly mentioning that he's only a hobbyist, not an expert in apiology, then treating the revelation that they ARE as a shock. Made even worse by the long, tedious exposition that follows, as it painstakingly lays out every single thing the audience could've already understood themselves, including the previous scene.
- Jerk Ass Woobie: Mrs. Hargrove. It's hard not to feel sorry for her when she sobs over the death of her dog.
- Nightmare Fuel: This movie could make melissophobes uncomfortable, especially when we see Mrs. Hargrove getting stung to death and glimpses of her corpse.
