Answer: Stayin' Alive

The vocals in this musical group were all performed by three of the brothers in this family, hence their name the "Bee Gees". "Yellow Submarine" is by the Beatles, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" is by Simon & Garfunkel, and "Dancing Queen" is by ABBA.

They wore costumes with yellow and black horizontal stripes, wings, and antennae that appeared to spring about their heads. According to a Lorne Michaels, the creator of "SNL", he was told by the network to get rid of the bees after their first sketch.

He refused, and they appeared a total of thirteen times over the first five years of the program.

Answer: Documentary

"Vanishing of the Bees" is a documentary film that was produced in response to the severe decline in honeybee populations that was noted early in the 21st century. A phenomenon known as "Coloney Collapse Disorder", or CCD has resulted in the loss of millions of bees.

This film explores the troubles that commercial bee keepers experience when their colonies collaps, as well as efforts to change laws to help bees and beekeepers alike.

Answer: Blind Melon

DeLoach played a tap dancing bee in this music video in 1992. The video begins at a dance recital where people laugh at her performance. She runs away, and as the song plays, the video shows her stopping to dance for strangers, none of whom are very impressed. Clearly unhappy, she keeps wandering along. Finally, she finds a field where many other people dressed in bee costipumes are dancing too.

It is clear that she and all of the other "bee people" really are a bunch of happy characters after all.

Answer: The Invasion of the Bee Girls

The Invasion of the Bee Girls is a cult science fiction movie that was released in 1973.

In this case, a group of women mutate into oversexed bee-like beings and begin causing the deaths of the men in town. Men are dying of heart failure caused by sexual exhaustion.

The movie is in the public domain now if you want to see what mutation movies were like in the 1970s. (Be warned, though - you won't ever get the 85 minutes back.)
