BEE MOVIE

Every creature here on earth takes part in keeping our environment circulated. Even a small creature, like bees, gives an important role in our ecosystem. Bees are hymenopterous insects of the family Apoidea, solitary or social in habit, with smooth or hairy bodies, variously colored, and feeding largely upon nectar and pollen. Bees are usually live in a beehive, a place for a colony of honey bees and most of the time, busy bee workers.
The bee movie shows how important bees are in our ecosystem, how they help our environment to have more plants/flowers. Bees have characteristics that can do pollination, a process of transferring pollens from anthers to stigmas. Barry B. Benson, the main character in the movie, who lives in a hive in Sheep Meadow Central Park in New York City, is an average bee who recently graduated from Bee College. After the graduation, they are about to enter the hive’s Honex Industries. Barry, together with his best friend Adam Flayman, is excited for knowing what work they will have in the future. They were disappointed especially Barry because they will have only one job for their entire life. Barry feels he has the skills to pursue a number of different career paths and he doesn’t want to circulate his life in doing one thing.
Upon touring, Barry was amazed by the pollen jocks. Pollen jocks are the bees that work outside their hive, collecting pollens and nectars of flowers. He decided to join pollen jocks. He was a little bit afraid but it didn’t drive him to back out because of his willingness. When they are already outside the hive, in Manhattan, while pollen jocks are doing their job, he enjoys his new freedom, and totally impressed by the process of nectar collection and pollination. But because of curiosity, he touched a tennis ball and he was stocked into it. The ball where Barry was stocked was used in a game that leads him to be nervous and panic. He was thrown away going to a car where a family became

    In order to show this, Kidd builds on the hive and bees as a metaphor of life. Bees represent people working together in a society, which is represented by the hive. "The queen, for her part, is the unifying force of the community; if she is removed from the hive, the workers very quickly sense her absence. After a few hours, or even less, they show unmistakable signs of queenlessness" (3). The beehive has been known in history to represent the soul, death, and rebirth. The hive is presided over by the queen, or mother-figure. In explaining that bees have secret lives that are not immediately perceptible, August speaks metaphorically of people. As the plot progresses, we learn that almost every character has an explanation for his or her actions that cannot be seen immediately. We know that Lily is pretending to be someone that she is not in order to find out about her mother. We learn that May is so emotional because of her twin's suicide (142). August tells Lily that T. Ray was not always the cruel man he is now. He was once tender and sweet and become embittered when Deborah died (201). Lily also finds out that her mother was not the perfect women she imagined. Throughout this story, Lily learns people, like the bees, are often motivated by forces that cannot be understood…

They know how to count to four based on a experiment done at the University of Queensland; they communicate with one another through dancing and pheromones; their fat bodies make them one of the least aerodynamic creatures that have ever left the ground; they can carry one hundred and twenty two times their body weight; and have personalities that have been characterized as anything from “thrill-seekers” to “pessimistic”1,2. The oddest thing about bees is their mysterious disappearances due to Colony Collapse Disorder, a condition where many adult bees never return to the hive.…
