* GaiasLament: Downplayed. By the end of the film, most flowers within range of the beehive are depleted of nectar. The only usable nearby flowers are those in a garbage skip that have been thrown out by a restaurant.

* LuddWasRight: It's the 'time-tested way from the dawn of history' for bees to take only what nectar they need from each flower. Queen Akif's orders to expand the hive and obtain more honey are portrayed as wicked.

''Plan Bee'' is a 2007 animated film created by Creator/SparkPlugEntertainment.

The film centers around a worker-bee named Bing, who, along with the other workers, are being worked to exhaustion by their evil queen and her cruel second-in-command. Bing and the others, with the help of their friend from another hive, must find a way to liberate the hive from her control.

As the title would suggest, this film is loosely based on the 2007 Creator/DreamWorks movie, ''WesternAnimation/TheBMovie''.
----
!!Tropes found in this movie:

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: In real-life, all worker-bees are female. However, Bing and several other characters are all male.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: The Queen runs her workers ragged and treats them like slaves. She also framed her mother, the previous queen, for trying to murder the elders to take the throne.
* SleepDeprivation: Once Belzar becomes the Queen's second-in-command, he forces the workers to collect honey 24/7, working them to the point of exhaustion.
* StockBeehive: The beehive starts out just looking like a normal fictionalized beehive, sticking out from the bottom and looking like a golden version of a wasp's nest. However, as the bees start to expand the hive, it grows massive and tall, sticking out on both sides of the branch like a tower.
* VirtuousBees: With the exception of Belzar and the Queen, the bees are all pretty friendly and heroic. In fact, they not only show concern about the flowers they're forced to kill, but they also have an understanding of freedom and democracy, and feel guilty for disrupting a memorial for UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington.
