Vicki finds the Hargroves' bitter marital strife oddly relaxing, but when a mysterious swarm of specially-bred attack bees starts killing island residents, Vicki fights for her survival, setting fire to nearly half the structures on the island in her escape.\nStarring Suzzanna Leigh as Vicki Robbins, Frank Finlay as H W Manfred, Guy Doleman as Ralph Hargrove and Catherine Finn as Mary Hargrove. The Deadly Bees made little buzz when initially distributed and years later still failed to gain a cult following despite being the first killer bee flick. So here we are today, celebrating its fandom.\n\nReferences:\nhttps://prettysinister.blogspot.com/2015/08/ffb-taste-for-honey-h-f-heard.html\nhttps://screenrant.com/scariest-horror-films-spiders-bugs/\nhttps://mikestakeonthemovies.com/2018/08/30/the-deadly-bees-1966/\nhttp://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/478914/index.html\nhttps://bscine.com/bsc-members/?id=250\nhttps://hammerfilms.com/blogs/news/remembering-freddie-francis\nhttps://www.nytimes.com/1967/05/20/archives/the-screendeadly-bees-tops-bill-at-local-theaters.html\nhttps://www.arthur-conan-doyle.com/wiki/Sting_of_Death\nhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061557/trivia/?ref_=tt_dyk_trv\nhttps://www.geraldheard.com/\nhttps://www.geraldheard.com/books/2017/12/5/the-deadly-bees\nhttps://apdg.org.au/2022/06/from-daleks-to-outer-space-and-killer-bees \nTonight's Second Feature is Created, Produced & Hosted by James Hewitt, and Rhys Strang.\nMovie behind the scenes researched by James Hewitt https://www.instagram.com/look_its_jmes/\nPodcast Cover Art by Mihaly Csordas, https://www.instagram.com/sawdustnui/?hl=en\nThumbnails created by Rhys Strang https://www.instagram.com/strangrhys/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ufNq_fS9ZYr6rC5DD9yeYQEwXYSuaZSHPXs29AifIxc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82OGFj/MmU5ZjIyY2VmNWYw/OTA2ZGRmZjhiNTEw/MDMzYy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
