The plot of the film has little to do with the plot of ''Centricide''. The film stars Jreg as the main character.

15	* DisappearedDad: Buzz's dad had left his family. [[spoiler:It turns out that Mr. Bee (whose name is Steven Lightbee) is his dad.]]
16	* FantasticDrug: Antwax, which Jerry is addicted to. The SpinOff shows that antwax is taken through an "antwax vape".
17	* FantasticRacism: There are tensions between bees and ants. Mr. Bee describes ants as "dastardly". [[spoiler:When Buzz turns himself into a bee, he's faced with harassment from the ants in Antopia who claim that "his kind aren't welcome here".]]
18	* FlintstoneTheming: Antopia and Bee City are places themed after ants and bees respectively. In Antopia, there are things such as the Antopia '''Ant'''ccounting '''Ant'''ssociation and social media sites like '''Ant'''stagram.
19	* GivenNameReveal: Mr. Bee is an alias. His true name is [[spoiler:Steven [[SameSurnameMeansRelated Lightbee]]]].

27	* {{Pun}}: Loads and loads of bee and ant puns. Highlights include:
28	** [=BEEsexual=].
29	** Characters named Sam''ANT''a and ''ANT''onio Bodacelli.
30	** "''BEE''sus Christ!"
31	** And:
32	--->'''Mr. Bee:''' Oh, ''bee''z louise, I haven’t seen nothing like that since ''BEE''itnam!
33	* RunningAwayToCry: Buzz runs away into the woods to cry after [[spoiler:discovering Mr. Bee is his father, which means Buzz's mother lied about the whereabouts of his dad throughout his childhood]].
34	* ShoutOut: Jerry Seinfeld is named after Creator/JerrySeinfeld due to playing a large part in the production of ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'', as well as voicing its main character.
35	* SpinOff: An ''Antopia'' spin-off series titled ''Jerry's Antics'' has its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2RFYSSXqao first episode]] up on KLOY's channel. Jerry's character growth from an Antwax-addled kid failing his classes into a successful businessman and RecoveredAddict was entirely off-screen. The spin-off shows what occurred to Jerry after him and Buzz emotionally parted ways. Fair warning, there's a lot of ant {{pun}}s.
36	* YourSonAllAlong: [[spoiler:Mr. Bee reveals his real name to be Steven Lightbee, which causes Buzz to realize that Mr. Bee is his father. When Buzz tells Steven, Steven initially denies it, saying the only child he had was with an ant. Buzz then reveals that he was born an ant.]]
