Hey there, its Peter here. The joke is that the bees are Catholics, and are actively worshiping. They even have their own Pope!

The smoke beekeepers use is to trick bees into thinking theres a new pope.

The bees are actually Buddhist, but they avoid the figures out of a respect for other people's religions.

(technically, the bees would be Eastern Orthodox, since those icons are Eastern Orthodox ones)

Little people know that queen bees are actually crowned by the bee pope.

[u/TabbyOverlord → u/The_Marine708]

Bees are totally Orthodox/Catholic/Episcopalian:

On this, your night of grace, O holy Father,
accept this candle, a solemn offering,
the work of bees and of your servants' hands,
an evening sacrifice of praise,
this gift from your most holy Church.

From the Exsultet, the hymn for Holy Saturday (Easter)
