In the small town of Peckham, California, many men die for excessive effort during sexual intercourse. When a scientist from the Brandt research laboratory is found dead in a motel, the government sends Agent Neil Agar (William Smith) to investigate the mysterious deaths. He suspects that the deaths may be related to some experiments of Dr. Susan Harris (Anitra Ford), who is researching bees in the Brandt facility.

"Invasion of the Bee Girls" is a delightful and enjoyable B-movie. The dark cinematography is awful with very bad lighting and horrible direction; the flawed screenplay and dialogs are silly and very funny; most of the actors and actresses are ham, with terrible acting and ridiculous dialogs (when one of the guys, referring to his friend that has just died in a motel, says to his colleagues in the bar "- Imagine, coming and going at the same time", I laughed a lot) ; there are many beautiful naked women, free nudity with lots of breasts and hilarious scenes, like, for example, the unique shot of the hero along the whole story is in a lever of a computer that provokes fire and lethal smoke everywhere in the room where the bee girls are gathered together. The actresses undress practically in every scene, without any motive, being a film of soft sexploitation. If you like trash-movies and beautiful nude women, see this flick. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Invasão das Mulheres Abelhas" ("Invasion of the Bee Women")

Yes, this is quintessential 70's B movie stuff that has it all: bad acting, crazy plot strands, a far-out story about girls becoming human bees and killing men with over-exhaustion in the sexual act, and lots of pretty, bosomy girls not afraid to keep you abreast of their physical attributes. Government agent Will Smith goes to Peckham, California, to look into the death of a researcher at Brandt Research. He comes in the midst of a huge death tally as in one day or soon the number of men that have died from over-exhaustion rises to 10. We get to see some of these deaths and there is absolutely nothing scary about them. The whole film seems to have a very campy edge to it. That is a credit to first time screenwriter Nicholas Meyer who wrote The Seven-Percent Solution and the scripts for several Star Trek movies as well as directed many good films later on. Meyer's script is absurd at times but he along with the director are able to keep it not quite real - if you know what I mean. The budget is a bit higher than many films of this era but has obvious constraints. The bee hive room was impressive as are many of the female leads. Anitra Ford is gorgeous with her long legs and playful eyes, but she is nothing next to Victoria Vetri who fills a blouse beautifully. Both women are adequate thespians as well(I'm sure this is of a grave concern for viewers of films like this). Invasion of the Bee Girls is one of those really fun movies from the seventies that mixes just enough sleaze with other elements like science fiction to come up with a viewing pleasure despite its obvious shortcomings.

I was first turned on to this film by Siskel & Ebert a zillion years ago on a program they ran featuring their choices for the best "bad" movies. They were sure right about this one. The plot is so ridiculous it doesn't bear mentioning -- the magic is all in the execution, e.g., Anitra Ford stripping and writhing to the strains of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherezade", a secret laboratory in which women are transformed into seductive automatons by a procedure involving their being bathed in honey and then exposed to bees -- lot's of that kind of thing here. And what's this? The film has the US government sending out an agent to investigate the death of a guy who suffered a heart attack during strenuous sex. Is that where our intelligence agencies put their energies? No wonder they were so clueless about 9/11 and Iraq. Now for some inane reason, this film got reissued on DVD under the tile "Graveyard Tramps". It's true, there is at least one scene in a cemetery, and as to the female characters being tramps . . . no argument. Nevertheless, what kind of moron would throw away a great title like "Bee Girls" for something so prosaic? Oh, and the DVD cover for some reason identifies the female lead as the late Claudia Jennings, who is not even in the film (the lead is her fellow Playmate Victoria Vetri). Go figure. Here's another thing I love about this film -- although it is completely about sex, albeit sex in the context of some loony incomprehensible plot involving a world takeover, and although there is plenty of nudity and seduction, this film from the early 70's is rated PG. Teens could see it without a chaperone. Yep, back when I was a boy, we didn't suffer from the same neurotic fears we now have about adolescents being permanently damaged by the sight of a female breast. Seems we were relatively hardy in those days, although on the other hand, we didn't have to deal with news reports of beheadings and the like. But I digress. There will always be a special place in my heart for Invasion of the Bee Girls, the sine qua non of its genre. And a heck of a lot of fun.

An agent for the State Department named "Neil Agar" (William Smith) is sent to Peckham, California to determine if there is any connection between the death of a man and a local top secret government research facility called "Brandt Industries". Not long after his arrival, other men begin dying at an alarming rate. The cause of death is sexual exhaustion in almost all of the cases. Now, as one might expect from a B-movie this one has some typical flaws. First, the lighting in several scenes was clearly inadequate. Likewise, the special effects were somewhat basic as well. In addition to that, there was quite a bit of nudity. Some of it enhanced a particular scene but at other times it didn't seem necessary or even that remarkable. However, what I did find rather remarkable was that, minus the nudity, this is the type of film one might expect to see back in the 1950's. It has that type of a plot. Be that as it may, for a "Bee-movie" this wasn't that bad.

I got this film in the Drive-in 50-pack collection. I thought I would hate this film but it turned out to be surprisingly interesting and a decent sci-fi horror flick. The movie sorta straddles the Z and B grade films yet it's worth watching if you are into to sci-fi horrors.

When I first popped this film into the player I thought "this is going to be a real eye-roller. A terrible film." but the more I watched the film, the more I became engrossed in it.... it only took about 10 or 15 minutes to grab my attention.

Yea if you ever come across this film it's worth watching. It's not a film to "seek out" but one that if you happen to stumble on it it's worth watching if you like the Z to B grade sci-fi flicks. It's one of the better ones.

5/10

An example of poor filmmaking, and bad lighting. The plot could have gone elsewhere, and may have as it seems to be absent during most of the movie. This is a campy film (with gratuitous nudity) from the drive-ins of the 1970's. Fun to watch, as long as its after dark.

This can justifiably be called a "Bee" movie. But I'll be hard-pressed to find anything else justifiable about it. OK - there are a few boob shots to keep you awake. And well into the film, an ugly union guy delivers all of the film's memorable lines - in rapid succession. But first, the superficial plot: Somehow, a bunch of females (who all wear sunglasses) have bee-like tendancies when it comes to sex; i. e., while tripping the triggers of their mates, they kill them. That's pretty much it. Usually, the queen bee can make whoopie only once; but, we learn at the movie's end that these gals can do it repeatedly because of mutation resulting from radiation. Sounds like distaff Viagra. Much of the flick portrays the various, effortless ways that the male victims are lured and participate without second thought. I should have concluded right there, but, here comes that dialogue: Not one to practice the recommended abstinence, the character declares, "I'm not gonna give up what little pleasure I get from screwin' my ol' lady." (I bet SHE gets even less.) And, "They froze our wages. Let's not let 'em freeze anything else." After "eight guys are dead from ballin'", he wonders what it would be like "cummin' and goin'." The latter is the direction for most viewers. Only the fan of really bad cinema will tolerate this one.

That's 10/10 if you like campy '70s schlock, 0/10 for everyone else. In this case, woman in a small California town are turning into queen bees and screwing their husbands to death! You read that right. Needless to say, there's everything that we expect in a campy '70s flick: big-breasted babes, men wearing ugly ties, and old-style computers.

I gotta admit, I wouldn't mind mating with some of those bee girls! There are some hot ones there! Of course, in keeping with decency, I would have to avoid the old woman walking around in her bra and panties. I know, it makes me a chauvinist pig for liking a movie full of buxom women. Well, at least these women look like real people. All in all, a real treat for B-movie fetishists.

Inspired 70's b-movie about a colony of bees that manage to infiltrate the minds and bodies of glamorous women, and use them as vessels for a takeover of mankind. Here's the rub, so to speak: they 'sting' their prey during copulation with the male species. Hence the 'R' rating. A bevy of buxom b-movie starlets (and loops, e.g. Rene Bond, Kathy Hilton), work their way around the campus of a university under the watchful eye of the sultry Anitra Ford, as she pilots their take-over of the town of Peckham. Alarmed at the increasing rate of stiffs being wheeled into the morgue, local police captain (Osmond) welcomes Federal agent William Smith (in fine, fighting form) along with bimbo sidekick Victoria Vetri, sent to investigate the strange phenomena.

Witty dialogue (courtesy of noted word-smith and director Nicholas Meyer) sets this cult sci-fi apart; Denis Sanders' direction isn't especially taut and momentum does tend to sag, but the constant influx of quirky characters and situations is irresistibly entertaining. Some of the special effects used to depict the bee-vision isn't bad either, considering its vintage. The cast is an interesting assembly of talent, with experience (Smith, Hammer, Osmond, King in particular) offset by rank amateurism. Anitra Ford is a beguiling woman, but her acting talents here are lamentable. Fortunately, her looks do tend to compensate.

Don't be mislead by some of the associated press and commentary concerning this film: while it isn't soft porn, nor is it "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" in narrative or technical standard. Disbelief aside, if you can appreciate the dry humour and lusty amateurs who adorn the screen (sometimes being smothered in bee wax for good measure) you should enjoy this, one-of-a-kind movie experience.

Some cosmic force is turning nice suburban women into "bee" women. To survive that must have sex...and end up "exhausting" men to death! Naturally all the women are young and have great bodies.

Interesting idea very badly executed. This movie cries for camp, but it takes itself very seriously...TOO seriously! There's bad acting, needless nudity (esecially in a sequence where we see a woman "changed" into a bee woman), lousy color, bad sound and scenes shot at night are so dark I couldn't make out what was going on. There's also a very cruel and tasteless attempted rape in the movie. Also there seems to be a message here--all sexually aggressive women should be destroyed. That's misogynist and disturbing.

This was rediscovered on video in the early 80s, and Siskel & Ebert listed it as one of their "guilty favorites". This caused some excitement over it but it died down pretty quickly (probably because people actually saw the movie). A boring, disturbing and sick motion picture. A must miss at all costs.

Okay, here's another strong contender for winning the award of sleaziest and absolute most insane B-movie of the 1970's! The human race, and particularly the male species, is threatened with extinction because of … ordinary women turned into life-sized bee monsters! How it is possible for anyone to think of such a plot, I do not know, but this movie honestly handles about a continuously expanding community of women that completely cover the newest members in honey until the pupils of their eyes turn pitch-black and then, subsequently, they celebrate by caressing their own breasts for five whole minutes! God bless 70's cinema… In the small Californian town of Peckham, which is famous for being the hometown of the pharmaceutical Brandt factory, the lifeless bodies of several men are discovered. The cause of death in all cases appears to be sexual exhaustion and, since some of their own eminent scientists were involved, the Brandt Company sends over government inspector Neil Agar over to investigate. The deaths started since the gorgeous Dr. Susan Harris, who's always wearing thick sunglasses and gets invited for lunch by all her male colleagues, launched a bizarre new series of experiments involving radiation. The plot of "Invasion of the Bee Girls" is totally ridiculous and cheesy nonsense, yet the film is very entertaining and spawns an irresistible sense of humor. Multiple sequences are downright hilarious, for example, when during a town's meeting, some doctor suggests a period of total sexual abstention, and the build-up towards each new male victim is a portrayal of pure and gold girl power! Nearly every guy in this town is a horny weakling, ready to cheat on his wife at all times. The ladies, on the other hand, are elegant and charismatic creatures with a lot more brain capacity than the males…even though they fondle their own breasts for no reason. Needless to say "Invasion of the Bee Girls" features tons of gratuitous nudity and lurid situations that don't make the slightest bit of sense. There's an overlong attempted-rape scene that really adds nothing to the plot, while the grand finale seems rushed and amateurish. With the exception of Anitra Ford as the queen bee, the women aren't really attractive, but they unscrupulously take all their clothes off in front of the camera. Respect, ladies! Another interesting trivia-detail: "Invasion of the Bee Girls" was the writing debut of Nicholas Meyer, who went on to script several acclaimed "Star Trek" movies.

The plot involves women who somehow are part bee. They are sexually insatiable and when they mate with unsuspecting men, they cause their hearts to explode.

This was a pretty creative but incredibly crappy movie. The production values are nil and the film really shows it, but there is also a cheesy quality that may appeal to some bad movie fans. I am definitely a bad movie fan (loving such horrid films as PLAN9 FROM OUTER SPACE, THE APPLE and TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE), but I really got bored with the whole mess. Some of it might have been all the nudity--I couldn't watch it with the family (and it's fun to do this with a bad film) and for lovers of skin, the ladies were often pretty skanky-looking--as if they hired prostitutes or women they picked up at bus stations.

By the way, William Smith, who stars in the film, (and looks kind of like a guy just out of rehab) is the same guy who later replaced Danny on HAWAII 5-0. No wonder the show was soon canceled!

I seriously had no idea what I was in for when I sat down to watch "Invasion of the Bee Girls", but the movie had such a goofy title that I thought it might be a fun movie to watch, being all campy and spoofy.

Turns out that this 1973 movie was not that at all. I don't really know how to explain this movie, because it was downright odd. The movie was actually trying to be serious while having such a ludicrous storyline and plot, which most of the time just seemed like showing off naked ladies and men dying at random.

I managed to endure an hour of this movie from writer Nicholas Meyer and director Denis Sanders before I had my share of boredom. I was ready to call it quits after 30 minutes, but opted to give the movie a chance, in the hopes of it would catching on and becoming interesting. That just never happened.

This movie just didn't really have any appeal to me. The lack of a proper plot and storyline was just what killed it for me. And I can honestly say that I am not going to return to watch the rest of the movie, because there simply is no point in wasting more time on "Invasion of the Bee Girls".

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as this. I just wasn't part of the target audience. Given the ludicrous feel to the movie and the lack of a proper storyline, my rating of "Invasion of the Bee Girls", sadly ends on a mere two out of ten stars.

This has to be one of the worst films ever. The story is ludicrous: women shag men to death(come on- how long would that take, 5 days of non stop action?) and turn into bees from outer space although they still look like women and use the same methods of sexual intercourse as human beings. Never mind the fact that bees don't actually kill male bees by sex... The acting is mostly pathetic, some of the film is reasonably funny but all in all like most cheapies the film is actually pretty boring most of the time. However, whenever I had reached the decision to switch off one of the admittedly gorgeous babes took of her sweater- and it was in the "burn your bra" era. I think you really have to be pretty drunk and half asleep to get any sort of satisfaction from this turkey.

Never has world domination seemed more appealing than in "Invasion of the Bee Girls." How can you NOT root for these Bee Vixens from outer space? Their "coming and going" strategy seems "sure-fire" and is definitely a lot more fun (and effective) than in blockbusters such as "Independence Day."

But of course some dumb secret agent is out to spoil all of their over-sexed shenanigans. Nonetheless, Anitra Ford's (an early Barker Beauty on "The Price is Right") performance as top Bee Girl, Dr.Susan Harris, is alone worth the price of admission! I'm definitely going to make it a point to see some of her other movies!

INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS feels like a 1950s B-movie monster flick transported to the 1970s, where it receives a dash of cheesy fashions and a whole helping of female nudity to bring it up to date with film standards from that decade. It's undoubtedly a cheap and trashy movie, very poorly made and acted, although B-movie lovers will probably get a kick out of it anyway.

Cult movie actor William Smith (he of the numerous biker movies) plays a government agent investigating a string of murders where the guys have all died during sex. It turns out that a sinister government experiment is behind these deaths, alongside a horde of killer women who literally strip and kill. The special effects are limited to some cool contact lenses and a few scenes of 'bee vision' while the acting is of the standard of a normal softcore flick. Former Hammer starlet Victoria Vetri (WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH) supplies some of the glamour. The whole thing descends into plot less inanity around the halfway mark, with one sex scene that goes on for ten interminable minutes before something finally happens. The cheesy climax is hardly worth the wait, either.
