According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the
ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees donât care what humans think is impossible.â SEQ. 75

ANGLE ON: Barry wearing the sweater he picked, looking in the mirror. BARRY (CONTâD) Yeah, letâs shake it up
a little. He picks the black and yellow one. He then goes to the sink, takes the top off a CONTAINER OF
HONEY, and puts some honey into his hair. He squirts some in his mouth and gargles. Then he takes the lid

make it. BARRY Yeah, three days of grade school, three days of high school. ADAM Those were so awkward.
BARRY Three days of college. Iâm glad I took off one day in the middle and just hitchhiked around the hive.
ADAM You did come back different. They drive by a bee whoâs jogging. ARTIE Hi Barry! BARRY (to a bee

ADAM Hey, did you hear about Frankie? "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 4. BARRY Yeah. ADAM You going to

BUZZWELL (CONTâD) ...9:15. (he clears his throat) And that concludes our graduation ceremonies. And begins
your career at Honex Industries. BARRY Are we going to pick our job today? ADAM I heard itâs just
orientation. The rows of chairs change in transformer-like mechanical motion to Universal Studios type tour
trams. Buzzwell walks off stage. BARRY (re: trams) Whoa, heads up! Here we go. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS

BARRY (CONTâD) Wow. TRUDY We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where
you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant pollen jocks bring the nectar to the hive

improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress testing a new helmet technology. ANGLE ON: A
STUNT BEE in a HELMET getting hit with a NEWSPAPER, then a SHOE, then a FLYSWATTER. He gets up, and gives a
âthumbâs upâ. The graduate bees APPLAUD. ADAM (re: stunt bee) What do you think he makes? BARRY Not enough.
TRUDY And here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 8. BARRY Wow,
what does that do? TRUDY Catches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us
millions. ANGLE ON: The Krelman machine. Bees with hand-shaped hats on, rotating around a wheel to catch
drips of honey. Adamâs hand shoots up. ADAM Can anyone work on the Krelman? TRUDY Of course. Most bee jobs
are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if itâs done well, means a lot. There are over 3000
different bee occupations. But choose carefully, because youâll stay in the job that you pick for the rest
of your life. The bees CHEER. ANGLE ON: Barryâs smile dropping slightly. BARRY The same job for the rest of
your life? I didnât know that. ADAM Whatâs the difference? TRUDY And youâll be happy to know that bees as a
species havenât had one day off in 27 million years. BARRY So youâll just work us to death? TRUDY (laughing)
Weâll sure try. Everyone LAUGHS except Barry. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 9. The tram drops down a
log-flume type steep drop. Cameras flash, as all the bees throw up their hands. The frame freezes into a

choice to have to make. ADAM Well, Iâm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. BARRY But
Adam, how could they never have told us that? ADAM Barry, why would you question anything? Weâre bees. Weâre

REVISIONS 8/13/07 11. The nectar from the pollen jocks is removed from their backpacks, and loaded into
trucks on their way to Honex. A SMALL CROWD forms around the Patrol Bees. Each one has a PIT CREW that takes
their nectar. Lou Loduca hurries a pit crew along: LOU LODUCA You guys did great! Youâre monsters. Youâre
sky freaks! I love it! I love it! SCHOOL GIRLS are jumping up and down and squealing nearby. BARRY I wonder
where those guys have just been? ADAM I donât know. BARRY Their dayâs not planned. Outside the hive, flying
who-knows-where, doing who-knows-what. ADAM You canât just decide one day to be a Pollen Jock. You have to
be bred for that. BARRY Right. Pollen Jocks cross in close proximity to Barry and Adam. Some pollen falls
off, onto Barry and Adam. BARRY (CONTâD) Look at that. Thatâs more pollen than you and I will ever see in a
lifetime. ADAM (playing with the pollen) Itâs just a status symbol. I think bees make too big a deal out of
it. BARRY Perhaps, unless youâre wearing it, and the ladies see you wearing it. ANGLE ON: Two girl bees.
"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 12. ADAM Those ladies? Arenât they our cousins too? BARRY Distant,

must be so dangerous being a pollen jock. BARRY Oh yeah, one time a bear had me pinned up against a
mushroom. He had one paw on my throat, and with the other he was slapping me back and forth across the face.
GIRL 1 Oh my. BARRY I never thought Iâd knock him out. GIRL 2 (to Adam) And what were you doing during all
of this? ADAM Obviously I was trying to alert the authorities. The girl swipes some pollen off of Adam with
a finger. BARRY (re: pollen) I can autograph that if you want. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 13.

You are not! BUZZ Weâre going, oh-nine hundred at JGate. ADAM (re: j-gate) Whoa. BUZZ (leaning in, on top of

grab that stick and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm, itâs a
beautiful thing. BARRY You know dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isnât right for
me. MARTIN BENSON And you were thinking of what, making balloon animals? Thatâs a bad job for a guy with a
stinger. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 15. BARRY Well no... MARTIN BENSON Janet, your sonâs not sure he

MARTIN BENSON Youâre not funny, youâre going into honey. Our son, the stirrer. JANET BENSON Youâre going to
be a stirrer?! BARRY No oneâs listening to me. MARTIN BENSON Wait until you see the sticks I have for you.
BARRY I can say anything I want right now. Iâm going to get an ant tattoo. JANET BENSON Letâs open some
fresh honey and celebrate. BARRY Maybe Iâll pierce my thorax! MARTIN BENSON (toasting) To honey! BARRY Shave

nectar from flowers. Barry flies down to watch the jocks collect the nectar. JOCK Stand to the side kid,

"Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 23. BARRY Oh, that is one Nectar Collector. JOCK You ever see pollination
up close? BARRY No, Sir. He takes off, and the excess pollen dust falls causing the flowers to come back to

more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. BARRY Cool. The Jock WINKS at Barry. Barry rejoins the other
jocks in the sky. They swoop in over a pond, kissing the surface. We see their image reflected in the water;
theyâre really moving. They fly over a fountain. BUZZ Iâm picking up a lot of bright yellow, could be
daisies. Donât we need those? SPLITZ Copy that visual. We see what appear to be yellow flowers on a green

packing up Honey, because I believe youâre about to eat it! ANGLE ON: Pollen Jocks. JACKSON Ahem! Ken is

(to Martin) I remember that. BARRY What right do they have to our hardearned honey? Weâre living on two cups
a year. Theyâre putting it in lip balm for no reason what-soever. MARTIN BENSON Even if itâs true, Barry,
what could one bee do? BARRY Iâm going to sting them where it really hurts. MARTIN BENSON In the face? BARRY
No. MARTIN BENSON In the eye? That would really hurt. BARRY No. MARTIN BENSON Up the nose? Thatâs a killer.

simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature
God put before us. If we were to live in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what it
would mean. Maybe I would have to negotiate with the silk worm for the elastic in my britches. Talking bee.

his opening statement. BARRY Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, thereâs no trickery here. Iâm just an
ordinary bee. And as a bee, honeyâs pretty important to me. Itâs important to all bees. We invented it, we
make it, and we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they
can take whatever they want from us cause weâre the little guys. And what Iâm hoping is that after this is

disturbing term, I have to say. I donât imagine you employ any bee free-ers, do you? MR. VANDERHAYDEN No.
BARRY Iâm sorry. I couldnât hear you. MR. VANDERHAYDEN (louder) No. BARRY No. Because you donât free bees.
You keep bees. And not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of
honey? MR. VANDERHAYDEN Well, theyâre very lovable creatures. Yogi-bear, Fozzy-bear, Build-a-bear. BARRY

of any kind, have you? STING No, I haven't. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 76. BARRY No, you havenât.
And so, here we have yet another example of bee culture being casually stolen by a human for nothing more
than a prance-about stage name. STING Oh please. BARRY Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I'm

to find the right job. We certainly have that in common. KEN Do we? BARRY Well, bees have 100% employment,
of course. But we do jobs like taking the crud out. KEN Thatâs just what I was thinking about doing. Ken

ADAM Yes? Yes, Your Honor? JUDGE Where is the rest of your team? ADAM (fumbling with his swordstinger) Well,
your honor, itâs interesting. You know Bees are trained to fly kind of haphazardly and as a result quite
often we donât make very good time. I actually once heard a pretty funny story about a bee-- MONTGOMERY Your
Honor, havenât these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this courtâs valuable time? Montgomery rolls out
from behind his table. Heâs suspended in a LARGE BABY CHAIR with wheels. MONTGOMERY (CONT'D) How much longer
are we going to allow these absurd shenanigans to go on? They have presented no compelling evidence to
support their charges against my clients who have all run perfectly legitimate businesses. I move for a
complete dismissal of this entire case. JUDGE Mr. Flayman, I am afraid I am going to have to consider Mr.
Montgomeryâs motion. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 92. ADAM But you canât. We have a terrific case.

hurt a fly, let alone a bee. He unintentionally points it towards the bee gallery, KNOCKING THEM ALL OUT.
The jury GASPS. The press SNAPS pictures of them. BARRY Members of the jury, look at what has happened to
bees who have never been asked, "Smoking or Non?" Is this what nature intended for us? To be forcibly
addicted to these smoke machines in man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to
the white man? Barry gestures dramatically towards Montgomery's racially mixed table. The BLACK LAWYER

ROUNDUPâ EXT. HONEY FARMS APIARY - MONTAGE SARAH (V.O) Congratulations on your victory. What are you going
to demand as a settlement? BARRY (V.O) (over montage) First, weâre going to demand a complete shutdown of
all bee work camps. Then, we want to get back all the honey that was ours to begin with. Every last drop. We
demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more than a filthy, smelly, big-headed, bad
breath, stink-machine. "Bee Movie" - JS REVISIONS 8/13/07 95. I believe weâre all aware of what they do in

Mmmm...you know, Iâm going to guess, bees. VANESSA Bees? BARRY Specifically me. I guess I didnât think that
bees not needing to make honey would affect all these other things. VANESSA And itâs not just flowers.
Fruits, vegetables...they all need bees. BARRY Well, thatâs our whole SAT test right there. VANESSA So, you
take away the produce, that affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of course... BARRY The human
species? VANESSA (clearing throat) Ahem! BARRY Oh. So, if thereâs no more pollination, it could all just go
south here, couldnât it? VANESSA And I know this is also partly my fault. Barry takes a long SIGH. BARRY How

maybe you were remodeling. Nonetheless, I have another idea. And itâs greater than all my previous great
