Recently college graduated Barry B. Benson, a bee that wants a more exciting life than the unavoidable monotonous job like every other at Honex making honey. On a special adventure outside the hive, Barry unintentionally meets Vanessa, an unconventional florist in New York City when she tries to save him from the heavy rain. A friendship soon springs up, but when Benson learns the astoundingly fact that humans actually eat honey, he decides to take on the mission himself: suing them for illegal stealing the bees' valuable honey and regain justice for his own species.
