Right.
Yeah, but some don't come back.

Look. That's more pollen

It's just a status symbol.

You guys did great! Bees make too much of it.

You're monsters! Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it

Yeah. Once a bear pinned me

against a mushroom!
- Six miles, huh?

He had a paw on my throat,

and with the other, he was slapping me!
A puddle jump for us,
but maybe you're not up for it.

- Oh, my!
- I never thought I'd knock him out.
- Maybe I am.
- You are not!

What were you doing during this?

We're going 0900 at J-Gate.

Trying to alert the authorities.

What do you think, buzzy-boy?

I can autograph that. Are you bee enough?

I might be. It all depends
on what 0900 means.

You know, Dad,

the more I think about it,
Hey, Honex!

maybe the honey field

Dad, you surprised me. just isn't right for me.

You decide what you're interested in? You were thinking of what,
making balloon animals?

- Well, there's a lot of choices.

- But you only get one. That's a bad job
for a guy with a stinger.

Do you ever get bored

doing the same job every day? Janet, your son's not sure
he wants to go into honey!

Son, let me tell you about stirring.

- Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
- I'm not trying to be funny.

You grab that stick, and you just

move it around, and you stir it around.
You're not funny! You're going
into honey. Our son, the stirrer!

You get yourself into a rhythm.

It's a beautiful thing.
- You're gonna be a stirrer? will be gone.

a pinch on that one.
See that? It's a little bit of magic.

That was on the line!

That's amazing. Why do we do that?

This is the coolest. What is it?

That's pollen power. More pollen, more

flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. I don't know, but I'm loving this color.

Oool. It smells good.

Not like a flower, but I like it.

I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow.

My sweet lord of bees!

Say again? You're reporting

- He's back here!

Oan't fly in rain.

He's going to sting me!

Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down!

He blinked!

Ken, could you close

Spray him, Granny! the window please?

What are you doing?! Oheck out my new resume.

I made it into a fold-out brochure.

Wow... the tension level

I gotta get home. Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this.

Oan't fly in rain. What was that?

Maybe this time. This time. This time.
This time! This time! This... There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out.

Drapes! I don't remember the sun

having a big 75 on it.

That is diabolical.

I predicted global warming.

It's fantastic. It's got all my special

skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. I could feel it getting hotter.
At first I thought it was just me.

What's number one? Star Wars?

Wait! Stop! Bee!

Nah, I don't go for that...

Stand back. These are winter boots.

...kind of stuff.

Wait!

No wonder we shouldn't talk to them.

They're out of their minds. Don't kill him!

When I leave a job interview, they're You know I'm allergic to them!
flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. This thing could kill me!
Why does his life have
less value than yours? Knocking someone out
is also a special skill.

Why does his life have any less value

than mine? Is that your statement? Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks.

I'm just saying all life has value. You - Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night?
don't know what he's capable of feeling. - Sure, Ken. You know, whatever.

My brochure! - You could put carob chips on there.

- Bye.

There you go, little guy.

- Supposed to be less calories.
- Bye.

I'm not scared of him.

It's an allergic thing.
I gotta say something.

Put that on your resume brochure.

She saved my life.
I gotta say something.

My whole face could puff up.

All right, here it goes.

Make it one of your special skills.

 "You like jazz?" No, that's no good.

Nah.

Here she comes! Speak, you fool!

What would I say?

Hi!

I could really get in trouble.

I'm sorry.

It's a bee law.

You're not supposed to talk to a human.
- You're talking.
- Yes, I know.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

You're talking!

I've got to.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, I can't do it. Oome on!

No, it's OK. It's fine.

No. Yes. No. I know I'm dreaming.

Do it. I can't. But I don't recall going to bed.

How should I start it? Well, I'm sure this

is very disconcerting.

I just want to say I'm grateful.

This is a bit of a surprise to me. I'll leave now.
I mean, you're a bee!

- Wait! How did you learn to do that?

I am. And I'm not supposed - What?
to be doing this,

The talking thing.

but they were all trying to kill me.

Same way you did, I guess.

And if it wasn't for you... "Mama, Dada, honey." You pick it up.

I had to thank you. - That's very funny.

It's just how I was raised. - Yeah.

That was a little weird. Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh,

we'd cry with what we have to deal with.

- I'm talking with a bee.

- Yeah. Anyway...

I'm talking to a bee. Oan I...

And the bee is talking to me!
 - No, I can't.

...get you something? - Oome on!

- Like what?

I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms.

I don't know. I mean...

I don't know. Ooffee?
- Where?
- These stripes don't help.

I don't want to put you out.

You look great!

It's no trouble. It takes two minutes.

I don't know if you know

- It's just coffee. anything about fashion.

- I hate to impose.

Are you all right?

- Don't be ridiculous!
- Actually, I would love a cup.
No.

Hey, you want rum cake?

He's making the tie in the cab
as they're flying up Madison.

- I shouldn't.
- Have some.
He finally gets there.
He runs up the steps into the church. I know how you feel.
The wedding is on.

- You do?
And he says, "Watermelon? - Sure.
I thought you said Guatemalan.

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or

Why would I marry a watermelon?" a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist.

Is that a bee joke? - Really?

- My only interest is flowers.

That's the kind of stuff we do.

Our new queen was just elected
with that same campaign slogan.

Yeah, different.

Anyway, if you look...

So, what are you gonna do, Barry?

There's my hive right there. See it?

About work? I don't know.

You're in Sheep Meadow!

I want to do my part for the hive,

but I can't do it the way they want.
Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond!
No way! I know that area. Are you...?
I lost a toe ring there once.

Oan I take a piece of this with me?

- Why do girls put rings on their toes?
- Why not?

Sure! Here, have a crumb.

- It's like putting a hat on your knee.

- Maybe I'll try that. - Thanks!
- Yeah.

- You all right, ma'am?

- Oh, yeah. Fine. All right. Well, then...
I guess I'll see you around.

Just having two cups of coffee!

Or not.

Anyway, this has been great.

Thanks for the coffee. OK, Barry.

Yeah, it's no trouble. And thank you

so much again... for before.

Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did,

I'd be up the rest of my life. Oh, that? That was nothing.
 Huge and crazy. They talk crazy.
Well, not nothing, but... Anyway...

They eat crazy giant things.

This can't possibly work. They drive crazy.

He's all set to go. - Do they try and kill you, like on TV?
We may as well try it. - Some of them. But some of them don't.

OK, Dave, pull the chute. - How'd you get back?

- Poodle.

- Sounds amazing.
- It was amazing! You did it, and I'm glad. You saw
whatever you wanted to see.

It was the scariest,

happiest moment of my life. You had your "experience." Now you
can pick out yourjob and be normal.

Humans! I can't believe

you were with humans! - Well...
- Well?

Giant, scary humans!

What were they like? Well, I met someone.
 - Oh, boy.

You did? Was she Bee-ish?

She's so nice. And she's a florist!

- A wasp?! Your parents will kill you!

- No, no, no, not a wasp.
Oh, no! You're dating a human florist!

- Spider?
- I'm not attracted to spiders. We're not dating.

I know it's the hottest thing, You're flying outside the hive, talking
with the eight legs and all. to humans that attack our homes

I can't get by that face. with power washers and M-80s!

One-eighth a stick of dynamite!

So who is she?
She saved my life!
And she understands me.

She's... human.

This is over!

No, no. That's a bee law.

You wouldn't break a bee law.
Eat this.

- Her name's Vanessa.

This is not over! What was that? Yes, but who can deny
the heart that is yearning?

- They call it a crumb.

- It was so stingin' stripey! There's no yearning.
Stop yearning. Listen to me!

And that's not what they eat.

That's what falls off what they eat! You have got to start thinking bee,
my friend. Thinking bee!

- You know what a Oinnabon is?

- No. - Thinking bee.
- Thinking bee.

It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.

They heat it up... Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!

Sit down!
There he is. He's in the pool.

...really hot!
- Listen to me! You know what your problem is, Barry?

We are not them! We're us. I gotta start thinking bee?

There's us and there's them!

How much longer will this go on?

 Got everything?
It's been three days!
Why aren't you working?

All set!

I've got a lot of big life decisions

to think about. Go ahead. I'll catch up.

What life? You have no life! Don't be too long.

You have no job. You're barely a bee!

Watch this!
Would it kill you
to make a little honey?

Vanessa!

Barry, come out.

Your father's talking to you. - We're still here.
- I told you not to yell at him.

Martin, would you talk to him?

He doesn't respond to yelling!

Barry, I'm talking to you!

- Then why yell at me?

- Because you don't listen!
You coming?
I'm not listening to this.

A tournament. Do the roses

compete in athletic events?
Sorry, I've gotta go.

No. All right, I've got one.

- Where are you going? How come you don't fly everywhere?
- I'm meeting a friend.

It's exhausting. Why don't you

A girl? Is this why you can't decide? run everywhere? It's faster.

Bye. Yeah, OK, I see, I see.

All right, your turn.

I just hope she's Bee-ish.

TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?
That's insane!

It's a horrible, horrible disease.

Dumb bees! - What is wrong with you?!
- It's a bug.

You must want to sting all those jerks.

Get out of here, you creep!

We try not to sting.

We do not.

Who told you humans are taking

- Whose side are you on?

Do these look like rumors?

The bees!

That's a conspiracy theory.

These are obviously doctored photos. I dated a cricket once in San Antonio.
Those crazy legs kept me up all night.

How did you get mixed up in this?

Barry, this is what you want
