There aren't a lot of choices in a bee's life: a bee attends a few days of school, graduates from college, and chooses a job in the hive that he'll labor at for the rest of his life. Barry is different from his best friend Adam and all the other bees: he wants to see the world outside the hive and can't begin to contemplate doing the same job for his entire life. Naturally, the life of the "pollen jock" bees appeals to Barry because it's the only job that takes a bee outside the hive and into the larger human world. Once outside the hive, Barry breaks the most sacred bee law and speaks to a human named Vanessa in order to thank her for saving his life. A relationship quickly blossoms and leads Barry to the discovery that humans are stealing honey from the bees and selling it for their own profit. Vowing to hurt the humans the one place they’ll feel it, Barry brings a legal suit against the honey industry and the courtroom drama begins.

- Contains some adult humor (Some, but most will go over the heads of younger viewers.)
- Contains some frightening scenes that may be too intense for younger viewers (There are some scenes where the main character Bee gets in and out of trouble from almost being killed by a tennis ball to almost being flushed down a toilet to almost being killed by a magazine.
