In the springtime, joyous spring- time, When the birds begin to sing, And we hear the murmuring brook- lets, Then the bees are on the wing. When the long, cold days are over Bees are out to sip the dew And the nectar from the clover, Buttercups and daisies blue.
Supers placed above the beehive For the honey bee to find, Will be filled if showers are given To the flowers of every kind. Then the bees are kind and gentle "Take it hog," they seem to say; "We will work again the harder After the next rainy day.
"And we'll fill again the super, We don't mind with you to share, Early morn will find us busy Gathering honey everywhere. We just gladly gather honey, And the wax from off our back We produce, now is'nt it funny, No material do we lack.
"For our queen cells we have polen, Any egg a queen may be, From the proper food and cover, We produce a queen, you see. If some drones we wish for mating, Other food we must supply, Just the food we give while waiting For their hatching by and by."
"But when frost on field and hillside, In the autumn kills the flower, And in vain we search for honey, In each glen and leafy bower, Then in every hive is stationed Guards to watch our winter's store, For if you would rudely take it, We would search in vain for more.
"And we sting with all our fury, Take our honey if you dare, For we want to keep from starving In the winter, so beware." There's a moral we may gather From the busy bee for all, Gather food stuff in the summer, And protect it in the fall.
At the UK press conference for Tim Burton’s highly anticipated Alice in Wonderlandbeing released this Friday, March 5, Anne Hathaway indicated that Nigella most-beautiful-woman-in-the-world-Lawson, inspired her portrayal of the off-kilter White Queen. “Nigella's always talking about 'a cacophony of flavours entering your mouth'. I wanted to give [the White Queen] that sensuality in the kitchen." She has a full-blown kitchen scene, in which she cooks a magic potion using only her amputated fingers.
In an interview with the Los Angeles TimesBurton said, "I quietly had her as my image for this character... She's really beautiful... but then there's this glint in her eye and when you see it you go, 'Oh, whoa, she's like really... nuts.' I mean in a good way. Well, maybe, I don't know."
We’ll see you at the IMAX for what will certainly be a trippy ride with an incredible cast of characters: Burton cast Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and the relatively unknown Mia Wasikowska as Alice.Alan Rickman is the blue caterpillar, Michael Sheen (who we loved in Frost/Nixon) is the White Rabbit.
Strap in your boots, and hold onto your butts.
Without further ado, a clip from the tea party scene, followed by the full-blown trailer:
I'll buy a ticket for anyone who will meet me at the Lincoln Center IMAX with chocolate brownie cupcakes with Nutella Frosting. Seems very fitting for the tea party scene, no?
