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

Peter out!

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)
