of aviation
there is no way a bee
should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get
its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway
because bees don't care
what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!

Ooming!

Hang on a second.

Hello?

– Barry?
– Adam?

– Oan you believe this is happening?
– I can't. I'll pick you up.

Looking sharp.

Use the stairs. Your father
paid good money for those.

Sorry. I'm excited.

Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.
A perfect report card, all B's.

Very proud.

Ma! I got a thing going here.

– You got lint on your fuzz.
– Ow! That's me!

– Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
– Bye!

Barry, I told you,
stop flying in the house!

– Hey, Adam.
– Hey, Barry.

– Is that fuzz gel?
– A little. Special day, graduation.

Never thought I'd make it.

Three days grade school,
three days high school.

Those were awkward.

Three days college. I'm glad I took
a day and hitchhiked around the hive.

You did come back different.

– Hi, Barry.
– Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.

– Hear about Frankie?
– Yeah.

– You going to the funeral?
– No, I'm not going.

Everybody knows,
sting someone, you die.

Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.

I guess he could have
just gotten out of the way.

I love this incorporating
an amusement park into our day.

That's why we don't need vacations.

Boy, quite a bit of pomp…
under the circumstances.

– Well, Adam, today we are men.
– We are!

– Bee-men.
– Amen!

Hallelujah!

Students, faculty, distinguished bees,

please welcome Dean Buzzwell.

Welcome, New Hive Oity
graduating class of…

…9:15.

That concludes our ceremonies.

And begins your career
at Honex Industries!

Will we pick ourjob today?

I heard it's just orientation.

Heads up! Here we go.

Keep your hands and antennas
inside the tram at all times.

– Wonder what it'll be like?
– A little scary.

Welcome to Honex,
a division of Honesc

I agree – floating row covers work the best. I should have added that the larger the field of cabbage (or any brassica) the less of a challenge larva damage seems to be – I think it's a game of numbers, and 6 or 8 plants in a rasied bed are more succeptble than 20,000 in a acre.As with many crops, larger plantings have an advantage.

I will definitely try growing cabbage in mid summer next year. Our biggest issue is with cabbage butterfly larva but row covers help a lot. This whole plant growth regulator scene is quite disturbing. Glad I grow all my own plants from seed.
