"For the bee, honey is the ultimate reality. It represents the fulfillment of her life mission, the triumph over her enemies, the continuity of the hive, the justification for working herself to death. Honey is to bees what money in the bank is to people—a measure of prosperity and well-being. But there is nothing abstract or symbolic about honey, as there is about money, which has no intrinsic value. There is more real wealth in a pound of honey, or a load of manure for that matter, than all the currency in the world. We often destroy the world's real wealth to create an illusion of wealth, confusing symbol and substance."—Wm. Longgood, The Queen Must Die

Again with the completely inaccurate representation of drones? I guess certain forms of human masculinity just can't accept the actual nature of the hive (or other hymenoptera, c.f. Antz). Ideologically, we must recover the hive for our own purposes. And dress the gal-bees in short skirts. (Not that I'm complaining about that last bit).
Absolutely.
And then there's the militaristic slant...
However, I am a sucker for beautiful animation and pretty colors and forgive much in the wake of such.
