      Guys…worker bees are almost exclusively male. Like in real life the colony has a queen who does the reproducing and kills off the other females in childhood to avoid competition. Like we can absolutely make the argument for misogyny, but if we occam’s razor it; this is the more obvious answer.

      @@longliverocknroll5 seriously! To the point where wild male honeybee drones are kicked out of the hive to basically die when winter comes so that they aren't draining the resources the queen and workers need.
      In addition! Male bees DON'T HAVE STINGERS!
      You know what this means?
      ... all the male honeybees with stingers in this movie have to be canonically trans. Including Barry.

  • @michaelkeenan2307
    @michaelkeenan2307 Год назад +163

    So I could've sworn I read a thing about that "bees can only sting one thing" fact is that the stinger gets stuck easily in mammal skin and tears the bee apart removing it but a bee can sting other insects as much as they want. So that means the killing spree joke in the kids movie is at least scientifically accurate.

    Fun fact -- the reason why bumblebees are able to fly is because their wings create helical vortexes, flipping their wings both forward and backwards to double their downstrokes, and press down against those vortexes to create TREMENDOUS lift forces. The reason why people ever got the idea that bees shouldn't be able to fly is because of oversimplified engineering models being used when the reality of how their wings functioned was much more complex! When actually properly modeled, the scientific understanding matches the reality--that bees do actually generate sufficient lift despite their proportionally small wing size.

    Sometime around 1980, I had a book called Bees Can’t Fly, But They Do. It actually had very little to do with bees. That was just in the prologue. The rest was more just, here’s some stuff that’s kinda weird/paradoxical. I borrowed this book from my school library, took it to read in the backyard, forgot about it and let it get rained on. That’s how I came to own the not-really-about-bees book. 🐝 📖
    Also, if I saw a bee in clothes, I would assume a human had a very odd pet to make sweaters for. Or they were trying to start a bee circus.
    Anyway, I should get back to work so I don’t accidentally cause an apocalypse or something.

    Weirdly enough, I think Willie and Bee Movie's versions of the "bees shouldn't fly" quote is a perfect image of their two different philosophies. Willie's ends with "but nobody told the bees that" line, which means that having the awareness of a problem makes it feel impossible to deal with. Meanwhile bee movie says that "bees don't care what humans think", which means that even if something is impossible or unwise, you can still do it anyway.
    In that way I guess the quote is perfect for the movie. Because the logic of filmmaking said "there's no way you can make an entire animated film based on half-baked bee jokes; but Jerry didn't care, and made the movie anyway.

In stinging individuals like workers and soldiers it’s modified to be a stinger, attached to a poison gland at all, and male drones do not have stingers because they can’t have an ovipositor.

    bees die when they sting because their stingers are barbed and while this is useful when attacking other insects, where the barbs do more damage when they sting the gaps in their exoskeleton, the skin of humans and animals is more elastic and the barbs get caught, so the bee is unable to free itself without ripping its stinger out. do I think that the writers were taking this into account when making the joke about a bee stinging seven other bees? absolutely not.

  • @OshaVids

    I have what I suspect may be some answers
    - I think the honey as mouthwash and hair gel joke is that they use honey for everything
    - I think the sharpening the stinger is not some preparation of a weapon, but a core part of bee culture to maintain what could be a weapon. It is the way some people practice martial arts for discipline or exercise
    - draining the stinger may be referring to his beenis (bee cock), and he just calls it the stinger as a euphemism, the same way people say drain the snake
    - I think while discussing if he should talk to the human lady, he's speaking in bee. Which is their own separate language.

    I've never seen Bee Movie, and I've never watched a video about it. I vaguely remember the ads for it when it came out, though. So, it's always just kind of lived in my head as that movie where a bee develops unrequited love for a human woman and rides on a windshield as a form of travel. I had NO IDEA there was all ... [gestures confusedly] ... this packed into it.

    it's interesting how both the bee movie and Howard the duck (1986) spend an extensive amount of time establishing the world of a humanoid animal species in the first few minutes only to leave it behind for the human world, features a by now infamous interspecies romantic relationship that might be sexual, completely switches genres out of nowhere and has the animalistic protagonist come to the realization that humanity doesn't treat his kind very well. i hope this is intriguing enough to get people to watch Howard the duck.

    you could go on a stinging spree if you removed the stinger from a dead bee and used that as a weapon. if a stinger only has enough venom to kill one living thing then you'd sting a bee and then harvest its stinger for your next murder. also was that a reference to huffing petrol in the same clip 38:03

    26:17 they should have had him put beeswax in his hair. Wax can be used to style hair while still keeping the bee theme

    Watching these videos always reminds me of going to the theater with my best friend where she just instantly whipped out knitting needles and a blanket she was working on and just went to town while staring at the movie.
    I commend the coordination, something I myself have never been able to get to because I'm too anxious about missing a bit lol

    I think one of the reasons I enjoy your content so much is because I'm right there with you the overthinking and listening to you ramble means that I can tune out my own overthinking for a little bit to be amused and inspired by the conclusions you come to.

  • @VahinkoMasokisti

    Since you kinda asked what's to like about the thumbnail part: I find it calming way for a video to end, it's like a gradual drop instead of a hard hit into a wall.

    This video genuinely had me brimming with joy, I think about movies, shows etc like this too but often feel like I'm pretty isolated in those lines of thought, so hearing someone break it down a lot like I would with dry witty humor is genuinely fun af, I'm not used to it!
    Thanks for posting man, made my day a lot better.

    fun fact about the starting speech about bees and flying. It was started by a dude in 1930s. who kinda just calculated if bees could fly if they flew like planes. And you can perhaps hazard a guess that, bees don't use the same mechanics as planes do. They kinda just create really small air vortices and ride that hurricane.
    Also bees can count.

    I’m sure that a) you already knew this or that 2) somebody already said so, but:
    worker bees are the females. Males are the drones that almost never leave the hive, because they’re constantly serving the queen.
    Right? That’s a thing I remember from somewhere, and the reason I always say something about “little sister” when helping rescue a honeybee from the swimming pool.

      I watched Bee Movie not long after its release, and I was fully on board with the goofy jokes-until the incredibly creepy sexual undertones appeared. And then things got fricking surreal. When I try to remember the actual ending, I just get a smoky recollection of billions of dead flowers.
