Can the two moves on top of the hive overlap?
Ex: I move on top. I move to the left and then back to the right (onto the same previous piece), then I drop into a forward space (different from the 1st).
If that doesn't work..can the ladybug move in 2 different directions on top the hive?
That was my understanding.

It can move in two different directions but cannot double back on a previously visited tile within the same movement. It must go exactly 2 on top, and end on the table.

If I have not misread what you wrote above, my answer to your question is no, that's not possible. The reason is because you have just moved 4 spaces, whereas the ladybug's movement characteristics is, quoting from the rules, "Once in play, the Ladybug moves three spaces, two on top of the Hive then one down". The following picture posted by the designer also illustrates this:
Based on what you described, the two spaces at the top of the black queen bee would be reachable by the ladybug, but it is not, as shown by the picture.
The move onto the Hive is counted as 1 move on top of the hive. The move to the left is counted as your second move on the hive. Your next move therefore has to be dropping the ladybug back down. In that sense, it is not possible to move back to the same space when the ladybug is on top of the hive.

Can the ladybug move over a stacked beetle (on a higher level) or is that illegal?

Yes it can, height is not a restriction. Although squeezing through a narrow gap is illegal (freedom to move).

How can freedom to move be an issue when all of its actual movement involves wandering around on top of the hive, or climbing up or down? Are you talking about a narrow gap between two beetles which are on top of the hive?

Simply put, yes.

Imagine the Beetles are stacked on other tiles.
The Ladybug would be able to move straight onto either the black or white Beetle, or the Grasshopper.
However the Ladybug would not be able to move directly onto the Queen, slide in between the two Beetles, which are on a higher level, as the gap is too narrow (freedom of movement).

Thanks, I wasn't understanding what you were driving at, now it's clear to me.
