Barry B. Benson

Bartholomew Bailey "Barry" Benson is the main protagonist of Bee Movie. His home is in a beehive in a tree in New York. He is the son of Janet Benson and Martin Benson. He was created and voiced by comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Barry B. Benson is an invertebrate furry, with a human personality but without a human shape. College graduate Barry wanted to not only follow his dream to be a Pollen Jock but also see the outside world which is the world of humans. So, he decides to join the Pollen Jocks. After a human florist named Vanessa Bloome saved him from being squished by her boyfriend Ken (who is allergic to bees), he talks to her (a bee violation). When he sees honey being sold in the grocery, Barry sues humanity. After Barry wins the case, honey is returned to the bees. However, this results in bees being put out of a job and flowers beginning to die. Realizing his mistake, Barry sets out to reverse his actions. He and Vanessa travel to California and take flowers from a parade there so the bees can use them to pollinate the dying flowers. After the flowers are saved and bees and humans are working together again, Barry is now working with Vanessa at her flower shop and is also a member of the Pollen Jocks.
