Anecdotes
The bees transform into a BEE-19 'bomber'. The real B-19 (actual designation XB-19) was an experimental (thus the 'X' at the front of the designator) large-size bomber manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company around the beginning of World War II. Only one was ever produced.

Gaffes
After Barney has filled his 4 pails with honey and the bees are returning, Barney SCRAMs (as per his "How To Find Wild Honey" book's direction) with the overflowing pails. As the bees pursue, Barney is now carrying 4 empty buckets. However, after he and the empty pails splash down in the pond, Barney surfaces with his face covered in honey.

Barney Bear does what he often does...he makes a mess of everything!

Barney Bear cartoons were not among the best films ever made by MGM...but they were entertaining and harmless fun. Like. Most of them, this one was directed by Fred Quimby while the Hanna-Barbera team made most of the Tom & Jerry shorts.

Barney wants honey...which makes sense since he's a bear! But unlike the average bear, he doesn't rely on instincts but on a book! Yes, apparently in the pre-Amazon days, you could find a book on how to find and harvest wild honey! Unfortunately, Barney is a big dim...and suffers the consequences.

This is a pleasant film but is pretty tame compared to many other MGM cartoons. I think a lot of this is because there was no one rival with a fully developed personality...just a bunch of bees. Also, while enjoyable, most of the gags are just okay...nothing special. But considering the quality of the animation and entertainment, the film still is better than most offerings from the era.
