This movie starts off at a hotel where there's a dead guy in a room, John Doe. Then they interview the people and do an autopsy on the cause of death of the guy. The government then sends an agent guy to investigate his death. Since he was doing some government experiments with bees. Agent guy then goes to some library to figure out his cause of death. Then he also meets a librarian lady there as well. Agent guy also meets the last person, a lady, John Doe talked with before he died.Then there's these scenes where naked ladies sleep with guys and they die from having sex with these girls. Agent guy then after that scene interviews John Doe's friends to find out more information on what he was doing. Another guy then dies the same way from one of the girls and the town figures out what to do. The town then has a meeting and tells the people that the men died from sex and the crowed laughs. The head of the meeting says for the towns safety not to have sex since it might save their lives and the men are aghast. After the meeting is over the librarian lady and agent guy make out until they see a car go by and see someone murdered. Agent guy then calls from a phone booth for a military quarantine. While he's doing that some guys attack librarian lady but agent guys stops them before they can do any real damage.Agent guy then finds some weird love nest while searching John Doe's home. Agent guy then gets into a fight with another guy and find out he was one of John Doe's friends. After that one of John Doe's friends goes out on a date with some doctor lady. Even though he's married, I think.Librarian lady and agent guy then watch a documentary about bees and other insects. While the other guy and lady doctor go out on a date. Lady Doctor then starts sleeping with the guy and when it happens. We see this weird bee vision where lady doctor has black eyes while they do it. Then she calls they guys wife and tells her to come to her place.Agent guy then goes to the lady doctors place which she and agent guy talk a little. After that lady doctor goes to this weird lab place. Where she makes more of these bee girls and the device that turns them also looks like a jungle gym. They then put this weird paste on one of the new ladies and she's also naked too.Then they put her in the jungle gym and then bees fly around and on her. Then they peel it the paste off and she's a little younger now and has black eyes. Agent guy finds the other dead guy in some factory while the town tries to evacuate but can't because of the quarantine. A cop guy then tells in another scene that the other guy is dead but doesn't sound like he cares. Then the new bee girl tries to sleep with him bet he doesn't want to.Agent guy then tells some of the town people about his theory of the mutant bee girls while the girls try and stop the military. Agent guy and librarian lady create a gamma wave device where they can track the bee girls at the guy's funeral. Lady doctor then kidnaps librarian lady and agent guys puts everything together and tires to stop lady doctor. Agent guy then destroys the conversion machine by shooting it and it gets destroyed. At the end there's also some explanation for the bee girls motivation at the end. Then it cuts to bees on flowers while agent guy and librarian girl sleep with each other.The movie I think is a horror movie where the men are the victims instead of the girls. The plot also felt like almost a soft core porno even though there wasn't much action going on.

He was furious and called the rewrite "dumbed-down stuff for the Paramus drive-in crowd." The title tells you everything you need to know about the plot: A growing group of women in a small desert town are intentionally infected by a queen bee gene (or whatever) and start killing any guy with whom they copulate. The movie plays like a typical Syfy flick, but more dull, with early 70's décor and lots of female nudity. While there's some "good naked" in this flick, like the motorcycle girl, it's mostly what that Seinfeld episode called "bad naked." Take, for instance, the housewife and her husband near the end or the housewife converted to the hive. Even Anitra Ford, who has a stunning face and full head of hair, looks too thin and un-alluring in her nude shots, but I'm sure some guys like non-curvy women. Not me. Victoria Vetri looks great, but even she has a sorta "bad naked" shot at the end when William Smith's character saves her from the bee girls by picking her up like a sack of potatoes.Speaking of Victoria, she plays a quality female protagonist and comes across very intelligent, as well as attractive (naturally). Sadly, this was her last film. Smith plays a great male protagonist and so does the towering Cliff Osmond as the police captain. While the aforementioned nudity might incite your interest, don't get too excited as the filmmaking is unimaginative and the way the story plays out is tedious, especially for a film that only runs 85 minutes. I find it perplexing that notable critics like Ebert, Siskel and Maltin hail this as a "guilty pleasure" or whatever (no doubt solely due to being "breast men"). Really, it's only fascinating as a cultural artifact.The film was shot in Santa Clarita and Newhall, California.GRADE: C-
... View MoreAs a matter of fact, I liked this '70s thriller and I think it deserves its cult—following; INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS is a low—budget horror movie with a twisted Sci—Fi premise, it is, deliberately or not, funny, the pace is good and the flick likable.Electronic music, laboratories, secrets, babes .For those induced to believe otherwise, do not expect to see loads of bare tits in this movie; there are some, and usually very poorly filmed. Some of the women are good—looking.If there's a sign of coolness to trash this movie, well, then just don't join that club ....

View MoreA genetic breakthrough in merging woman and bee has devastating consequences on the male race.."bee girls", with "androgynous" chromosomes, are driven to constantly mate, killing their male targets during the sexual act, due to radiation use causing them to become sterile. I'll spare the scientific mumbo jumbo, but will say that the clever, tongue-in-cheek script from Nicholas Meyer fuses science with fiction, incorporating exploitation elements with witty, sexually frank dialogue that makes this quite a fun little cocktail. Sexy women, some steamy seduction(..or attempted seduction)scenes, and lots of nudity. Really surreal methods in how the female victims are transformed into "bee girls" I won't soon forget anytime soon(..if anything one major transformation sequence, and the sultry Anitra Ford's lengthly seduction of a scientist, will linger in memory for sometime to come). Setting the movie in and around a government research institute means Meyer could explain what was taking place in elaborative detail so that the invasion might contain certain scientific merit. Good cast with the handsome William Smith as a government officer sent down from Washington, Victoria Vetri(..as a stunning woman disguised as a nerd)as a brainy assistant to a scientist whose death was the catalyst for the ongoing investigation, and Cliff Osmond as weary Captain Peters, needing some sort of resolution regarding the growing number of strange heart attacks occurring to men, both young and old. Anitra Ford's mere presence had my heart skipping a beat. With so many beautiful women, this should be an exploitation fan's dream come true, even if the sex isn't explicit, to successfully make a sci-fi flick sexy I consider quite admirable.
