* ArtisticLicenceBiology: The movie gets a ''lot'' of things wrong with regard to bees, but perhaps the biggest is missing the fact that bees die themselves when they sting people. On top of that, even Africanized bees aren't as ludicrously aggressive as depicted in the movie. The plot would actually have made a lot more sense had it involved wasps rather than bees.
