Earlier in the episode the Wasp Rick explains that wasps lay eggs inside of eyeballs
I searched & couldn't find if that is true
But I did find that they do lay eggs in prey & control their minds
So the Bee symbolism= Hive Mind & Mind Control

Before the black goo, the Wasp Rick accuses the Hologram of becoming sentient & trying to take over
Hologram Rick calls that "Isaac Asimov Bullshit"
Asimov has written many novels related to these themes

With the additional black goo context I'm thinking back to the frequency that Morty emitted
Ferrofluids/Graphene Oxide can be controlled by sound waves, is this what was signaled here?

This episode was named after Edge of Tomorrow movie
In this movie there are Hive Mind aliens that arrive on an asteroid
Black Goo is believed to have arrived on asteroids
The Death Crystal planet was in an Asteroid belt that possibly had more crystals

The aliens in this movie rewind time after 1 part of the hive dies, so the hive can learn the enemies moves
This is similar to Morty basing his decisions on the future he can see
This dying & repeating also alludes to Rick dying & respawning in a new clone

The Black Goo may work with Smart dust Nanocrystals
The Crystal caused Morty to lose control of his actions & become possessed by Black Goo

Another connection is that the aliens in Edge of Tomorrow are Bioluminescent
The Smart Dust possibly absorbs our luminescence
The Black Goo that possesses Morty emits Red light, while Mortys eyes emit Blue light

In addition to the Operation Phoenix = Operation Paper Clip connection
The Germans were trying to create clones to increase their numbers, maybe they were trying to create clones for consciousness transfers
Josef Mengele extensively studied Twins

Josef Mengele extensively studied Twins
He studied their differences to see what % of our development is based on DNA
This finally seems like the connection to the Cloning in Us
The govt created clones to control the original person "like puppets"

Maybe they tried to learn how to program each person, by experimenting on our clone
Maybe they thought literally controlling the clone would somehow control us?
Mengele also studied Twins to learn how to cause twin births in mothers

Maybe they were studying cloning to learn how to clone the embryo/fetus?
Many possibilities that I could speculate about, but I haven't done a deep dive to give a confident answer here
Maybe someone with research has the answer
Regardless, their cloning interest is shown here

Very fascinating content beginning to end
The crazy part is, this is just 1 episode, were just scratching the Rick & Morty surface
