Trivia
According to Jerry Seinfeld, while having lunch at Steven Spielberg's house, he first mentioned the idea for the movie as a joke, but Spielberg loved the idea.

Goofs
Mooseblood demonstrates that he drinks blood, but only female mosquitoes drink blood.

Quotes
Barry B. Benson: Ya like jazz?

Crazy credits
Barry stings the fishing boy, causing him to fall away, and then takes his place on the moon in the DreamWorks Animation logo.

Alternate versions
DreamWorks was required by the British Board of Film Classification to remove a sequence of Ken using an aerosol can to form a makeshift flame-thrower on Barry to gain a 'U' certificate. In recent years, the scene was retained uncut at 'U' for Netflix and Blu-ray viewings.

saved my life

Before watching the Bee Movie, I had clinical depression. My therapist recommended this movie to help through tough times. I said "Yeah right, how will a movie about bees help me?" Oh, I was sooo wrong. Ever since watching this movie, it has made me appreciate living more. I have spent more time with friends and family. I now am so confident in my life that I have a job. Thank you Jerry Seinfeld.
