It is a pro capitalism movie with bestiality, yes.
The while plot of it is: If workers are not exploited, they will not work and therefore the world will collapse. Also, it is Seen as bad to question if dedicating your whole life to repetetive Work is a bad thing, and is actively discouraged.
I mean, the whole thing is literally about bees revolting against a corrupt system where they are not heard and instead killed by gas (which is quite literally against the Geneva convention), which results in them being repaid and not working anymore, which ruins the entire planet. So they crawl back and beg for their exploitation.
THE MOVIE ENDS WITH EVERYTHING RETURNING TO NORMAL WITHOUT ANY OF THE NAZI GAS SHIT BEING EVEN AKNOWLEDGED
Also, if you translate Bees and Humans to classes, the movie says „let yourself be exploited, otherwise the Upper class will not get their private jets
(Also yes the main plot device is a married woman falling in love with a communist bee)
What’s the deal with bees? They work like busy bees and produce honey for us, but we don’t pay them anything. It’s the bees knees! But what if they stopped working for free?
Or is it about bees going astray because of a disinformation campaign? Because the bees on the movie really like the work… like bees.
killed by gas
I really don’t remember if the movie explicitly acknowledges that the gas doesn’t kill the bees. But this is absolutely about hyper-judicialization of society and a sleazy lawyer clearly lying to the audience and getting rewarded by that.
The movie doesn’t fully anthropomorphize the bees. If you decide they are something the movie doesn’t make them be, you can take any moral instance you want from it. It just won’t be what’s on the movie.

While those are definitely the undertones, I’m 99.9% sure that Jerry Seinfeld never thought that far. He just came up with a plot about bees.
And this dichotomy makes it a real piece of art.
Did they come up with a plot? It seemed like they stopped at coming up with the pun “B Movie.”

And what’s the deal with airplane bees?
Wtf I definitely watched this movie but was too distracted/disturbed by the bestiality subplot to realize everything else fucked up about it.
