Let It Bee...

A B-movie should have a lot of B’s, be’s, bee’s... whatever!


. Here’s Comes the Sun... !
This end song written by George Harrison makes our hearts lighter as the flowers return to the earth. As this clever movie tells us, we are too cynical a species to enjoy such a simple point of view.

"...to Bee or not to Be" ~ That is the question! Whether it be nobler in the mind to suffer the stings and narrows of diversity or like a bee, sting! Some of the more obvious gags, like a cameo appearance from activist musician Sting lack originality, but overall we have a comedic effect around a most serious subject, "Daddy, where does honey come from?"

When bee Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) inadvertently meets a quirky human florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger), he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom - he talks to her. “Yes, but is she Beeish?” his mother asks concernedly playing off of Seinfeld's ethnic roots. In spite of all bee warnings and bee resistance a friendship ensues, and Barry gets a guided crash tour in the ways of the human race. Hotty Zellweger airbrush animation makeover makes her evn more charming and desirable as a Jewish princess, whom she isn't. "Sue or bee sued!" like some Jerry B. Goode in the name of honey and the bees, Benson takes on the huge corporations who gather that nature’s abundance is meant only for human consumption, that profits are like taking honey from the bees. Mosquito Chris Rock's one liner about lawyers brings down the house when he shows up for post-litigation, "I always was a blood sucker, all I needed was a briefcase!"

Jerry Seinfeld's new animation masterpiece hits home with some stinging humour that goes straight to the hive of human civilization. Lovely wit a smile a second stab at modern Shakespearean poetry which serves to drive the plot. A laugh for the times in which we live left me feeling bee-reaved!

Go to see this B-movie! I went last night and it actually brings tears to your pollen sacs when the bees strike out to save the planet when the confrontation arises -- to be human or not be bee, that is the question! Maybe it (humour) is the answer to An Inconvenient Truth?

Now all you humans, learn to bee-have or we’ll take away your hive.

Is Honey Detrimental to Human Health? ~ To Bee or Not To Bee

.

Honey is an age-old food and medicine, dating back thousands of years at least. One would think that both believers in creation and believers in evolution would feel that honey is a symbiotic food and medicine. New-age vegans who firmly (albeit cavalierly) shrug off honey as an animal product and one involving the abuse of bees to boot, say (very cavalierly) that honey is acid-forming, harmful to your health and damaging to any good healing food program or herbal medicine regime. Nature-watching herbalists say that honey is the food of the gods. It breaks down mucus, feeds the body the highest quality glucose (the real fuel for cells besides oxygen), warms the blood, stops cravings, inhibits decay, inhibits bone loss and is a natural plant food which bees simply gather. Opponents say that bees put saliva into the honey and also a “harmful preservative” that hurts humans who use it. One could make the same assumption about drinking the milk of other mammals, but that one has turned out to be harmful to humans; particularly when processed, pasteurized or homogenized. The justification for saying milk is not really good for us has been that it is obviously unnatural to nurse off of another species. A similar argument has arisen over honey.
