Strangely, I got turned on to the plight from the under-recognized animated film Bee Movie which featured Jerry Seinfeld's voice. When I lived in California, the almond and citrus farmers were always talking about the bees--and each year there'd be hive heists. (A mature traveling hive was worth ~$40K). I am glad to see there's some reforms in the EU, but we need to work harder here to stem the problem.<br />...VeronicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-38814119704168138762014-03-25T19:56:22.968-04:002014-03-25T19:56:22.968-04:00Oh, I envy you - much bigger festival than our din...Oh, I envy you - much bigger festival than our dinky one.

It sounds like a fun and busy few days.<br />Thank goodness we have and Independent movie theater here that we can see the film not shown at the mega theaters.<br />I love "Ernest & Celestine" the animations is so lovely. If "The Wind Rises" didn't win the Oscar I thought this movie should. <br />As much as I have a soft spot for Disney, " Frozen" does not even compare to these two movies.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-90858496654958655892014-03-24T21:37:17.123-04:002014-03-24T21:37:17.123-04:00It was quite fun.It was quite fun.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-83441484046227087482014-03-24T20:02:39.151-04:002014-03-24T20:02:39.151-04:00That sounds like a great way to spend a few days -...That sounds like a great way to spend a few days - and even 10 days would be doable. :)Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-75051390015252658182014-03-24T18:09:36.972-04:002014-03-24T18:09:36.972-04:00Shockingly similar plotline, though their crimes a...Shockingly similar plotline, though their crimes are far tamer.<br /><br />Yeah, most of the weekday films are in the evening so it's really the late nights that would kill us.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-9599803739484066242014-03-24T18:08:03.481-04:002014-03-24T18:08:03.481-04:00Definitely.
