The Bee Movie Analysis

August Boatwright, the fictional beekeeper in the bildungsroman, The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, insisted that “the world was really one big bee yard” (Kidd 92). Therefore, it is fitting that beehives represent a family unit or a community, of which love, symbolized by honey, is produced. In the beginning of the novel, a “queenless hive” serves as an accurate representation of the life of Lily Owens, the fourteen-year-old protagonist of the novel, whose mother died under peculiar circumstances when Lily was four, leaving her without a queen bee, who is considered “the unifying force of the community,” and in the hands of an abusive, neglectful, and unloving father, bittered from the absence of his wife (Kidd 1). Eventually, Lily

Since the late 1990s, beekeepers around the world have observed the mysterious and sudden disappearance of bees, and report unusually high rates of decline in honeybee colonies. Bees do more than just make honey! Bee transfer pollen and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing the plant so it can grow and produce food. Cross-pollination helps at least 30 percent of the world's crops and 90% affects our food. The sweet fruits humans eat such as, strawberries, mangoes, grapes, apples, and bananas would not be the same taste wise as they are now. We simply couldn’t live in the same world if it weren’t for the bees.

In the Secret Life of Bees it shows how people may act one way but feel another, how loves isn’t fixed or certain, and it showed that people are perceived

“Lets imagine for a moment that we are tiny enough to follow a bee into a hive. Usually the first thing we would have to ge used to is the darkness”(Kidd 82). The bee is an insect that spends all day working: working to create a home, working to spread pollen and working to create honey. A bee's life and the society of bees can be closely related to the life of humans. In the novel The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, the author conveys her lessons about human life through the imagery of bees.

The first thing I picked up in cinema class was that the size of the screen can play a huge role in the way the viewer experiences a film. American Honey by Andrea Arnold felt like one of those movies that was tailormade to be experienced to its full potential on the big screen. If I saw this movie at home on a smaller screen, there would be so many things that I would not be able to experience because of the limitation in screen size.

It seems these days there is a lot of movements and protest on just about every debatable topic. The most recent, young and elderly are protesting the election of our new President of the United States, Back the Blue in regard to racial protests, and though some may never think of it, there are even protest about the saving of bees. Saving bees is something I have not given much thought to, but have come to realize that bees are very important and benefit us in our day to day lives. Honey bees help to provide our food, including honey. Fruits and vegetables must have bee pollination to produce and grow. In addition to our food and flowers, our native plants require bees to survive or they would be extinct. They are also important in providing the livelihood of farmers and growers in the food industry. So, this slogan is very fitting, Bees Matter!

The documentary called "More than Honey" directed by Markus Imhoof released on June 12, 2013, takes the viewers and explains why bees are necessary, what they do and most importantly what is causing them to die. This film takes the spectator to a much deeper understanding of what bees are like living in their natural habitat on a daily. Also how they are at risk of catching diseases and parasites. The strongest area of this documentary was logos they really enforced and expanded on the fact that bees are essential to growing fruit but they didn’t use much emotion though when they did it was very effective last it fell short on ethos.

Along with researching a smoker, a hive tool, a veil, and many other tools, they were finally ready to get a bee hive and most importantly, the honeybees. The next day, Dylan’s family called the beekeeper telling him that they were ready to take in the bees. Right away, the bees were brought over consisting of working bees, drones, and one queen bee. They learned that all working bees are females and the drones are males. After about three weeks, they decided to look under the hive’s cover to see if any honey was being made. Right before their eyes they found honey starting to form and

Many people in their life will feel compassionate towards another person or character in a novel because of their personality, behaviors and actions. In The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, the protagonist, Lily, has a father referred to as T. Ray. In the beginning of the book, typical readers may label T. Ray as the antagonist because he is described an abusive, cold hearted character. After reading and learning more about his past, T. Ray can eventually be considered a sympathetic character. With the death of his wife and the constant reminder of her every time he looks at his daughter, T-Ray has reasons for being portrayed as a cruel and resentful person.

The sun shimmered brightly in the morning sky, sending rays of warmth on to the land below it. Birds started to chirp and the bees started to buzz. The bees began their work in the golden, honey-filled hive. Most of them flew out, wandering around looking for blooming flowers, to get sweet nectar. Other bees nursed the young, took part in the building the impressive hive piece by piece, or guarded their home. Everyday, the bees are making their colony stronger...but what does this mean? Each bee has a significant role in the hive, and a bee does its job so every bee in the hive survives. In other words, a beehive would not exist if the bees did not work together as a whole. The way a community of bees works is not only fascinating, but also similar to the human world. Sue Monk Kidd incorporates various concepts in The Secret Life of Bees, and uses bees to develop the significance of those concepts. Kidd makes connections between bees and how they represent

In 1960 many governmental changes had occurred that had allowed African more rights which had drawn more attention to racism. American Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees suggests that accepting taboo actions does not necessarily compromises a person’s moral compass and can lead to an awareness and understanding of the world.

Bee Movie is a 2007 children’s animated film, produced by popular comedian Jerry Seinfeld. The film centers around protagonist Barry B. Benson, a young male bee dissatisfied with the way his fellow workers are forced to live their lives. Bee movie works as an example of class division and social uprising within a society. Although the difference between the proletariat and bourgeoisie extend farther than socioeconomic standing, as the bourgeoisie in this scenario are a different species, this film still works as a model for societal divide. The relationship between bees and the humans in Bee Movie represents the exploitation and alienation of proletariat workers, and how class division can lead to revolution.

Attention Getter: How many of you guys have seen the Bee Movie? Well for those that haven’t the movie is basically about how Bees have to work together along with a human to continue pollinating and produce honey in order for them to keep our environment healthy for the plants/trees to continue growing so that we can keep having those resources for many years.

“Bees don’t think about what is impossible. That’s why we can fly when everyone says we shouldn’t be able to” (The Bee Movie, 2007). One of the things that confines creative thinking is the belief that a system or structure or current way of doing things creates boundaries that should not/ought not to be crossed. That is similar to a non-permeable border – nothing from one side crosses to the other side. This non-porous thinking affects ideas, values, change and behavior to an extent that one becomes stagnant and dormant almost to the point of apathy.
