Synopsis
An ornery swarm of cross-bred bees unleash a chemical into the air when they sting, stirring the other bees into a sting-happy frenzy. Now the bees have gotten a whiff of a local factory's smoke, which smells like stinger juice to them. Their next stop is the local drive-in theater where an all-night horror show will be on.
