Thanks DG
Argh!
Fake information from the Intenet! how can it be!
Note I was never disprespectful of Ms. Bavier!)
So, from Wikipedia...(crossing my fingers! No Picture!))
Born in New York City in a brownstone on Gramercy Park[1] to Charles S., a stationary engineer, and Mary S. (née Birmingham) Bavier, Frances originally planned to become a teacher after attending Columbia University. She first appeared in vaudeville, later moving to the Broadway stage.[2]
After graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1925, she was cast in the stage comedy The Poor Nut.[3] Bavier’s big break came in the original Broadway production of On Borrowed Time. She later appeared with Henry Fonda in the play Point of No Return.[3]
Bavier had roles in more than a dozen films, as well as playing a range of supporting roles on television. Career highlights include her turn as Mrs. Barley in the classic 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still. In 1955, she played the rough and tough “Aunt Maggie” Sawtelle, a frontier Ma Barker-type character, in the Lone Ranger episode “Sawtelle’s Saga End”. In 1957, she played Nora Martin, mother of Eve Arden’s character on The Eve Arden Show, despite the fact that Arden was less than six years younger than Bavier. That same year, Bavier guest-starred in the eighth episode of Perry Mason as Louise Marlow in “The Case of the Crimson Kiss”.
(Then came the Andy Griffin show etc...)
Here is a photo of one. The insect on the left may have the stinger in the wrong part of the body....

Here is a guy riding one of the giant bees.

She did not care for Andy and the boys at all
Blind Melon was pretty good too bad the lead singer could’t kick heroin habit.
What a great list of some of the ‘50s movies of the genre!
As an 8-15 y/o then, I saw many of those and lots of others.
Blind Melon a somewhat alternative rock band had a vastly popular song in 1993 or so called No Rain in which the video ........featured a homely girl in a bee suit being laughed at
And she finds her way to other bee minded folks
The second pic is her as an adult woman 20 years later
You don't know that, you are not a true fan.
Initially but though she loved her husband, "Dud", she divorced him in a covert mountain ceremony because he looked at another woman (episode #121).
That opening dance sequence looks like it was inspired by Eraserhead.
That was called off because the Taylors were witchy.
You’ll need channel locks to remove that stinger!
Where was I? This was a thread on giant Bees which slide to Hollywood bees, hollywood women, etc....
Now, regarding Peter Graves and the Giant Grasshoppers the Wrigley Building and the prudential Building. I visited both of those buildings on Field Trips from Grade school. It was pretty freaky being I think 10 yrs old and watching the movie with them crawling around and remembering that Field Trip. (I also visited The old Grau Mill once and Midway airport but the hoppers seemed to like Downtown and didn’t mess with those memories.)
My brother worked on the tunnel for that new large accelerator that was never built. I have a distant relative I will not name who worked at what was once (I think) Tell-labs and which is now I think owned by some German or multinational firm. Do you remember White Fence Farms restaurant I recall was on Rt 66? My family never stopped to eat even tho all the kids wanted to because within 15 minutes we would be at Grandmothers and she had dinner waiting.
Interesting experiences! I saw a documentary film about the first nuclear reaction. A gaggle of Scientists standing around a Brick containment structure. (not certain composition of bricks) Not much shielding and I assume a fair residual amount of radiation about the place.
I assume that A-M-P-S is not in this case the measure of current or Autonomous Managment and Performance Schools!
I will take another look at your post tomorrow. The tempest! Prospero in a cave in an island using magic to call together the spirits of the air

Apr 29, 2008 ... It was 1943, and an engineer with Bell Telephone was working on one of the U.S. government’s most sensitive and important pieces of wartime ...”
“I visited both of those buildings on Field Trips from Grade school.”
Living in Glenview, we made the same trips, plus, a trip to MARS CANDY!!! And to maintain that sugar buzz, everyone gets a box of the crap!!!HO,ho,ho!!!
And the way overrated eighth-grade train trip to SPRINGFIELD.
“Do you remember White Fence Farms restaurant I recall was on Rt 66? My family never stopped to eat even tho all the kids wanted to”
We never stopped either. The Oldman would always say something like, we’ll be home shortly and have a nice meal.
Still there, and they have the same adverts with the voice of Wally Phillips?
If you happen to stop at White Fence Farm, you might enjoy a visit to the nearby, Site A/Plot M Disposal Site.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_A/Plot_M_Disposal_Site
While I was working at Argonne (ANL), they were still ‘exploring’ the nearby Forest Preserves.
Nice pictures here: http://fpdcc.com/site-a/

“The tempest! Prospero in a cave in an island using magic to call together the spirits of the air...”
I don’t recall any Prospero on the project I visited?
but I can guarantee some top of the line magicians on that project. And they knew most of everything there was to know about extracting spirits from the air.
“Where was I? This was a thread on giant Bees which slide to Hollywood bees, hollywood women, etc....”
How did you get here?
The truth be told, I had forgotten most of the fun events from my work life? And I had many. I enjoyed my work, no not dealing with the safety committee, and NOT ONE SECOND with the safety director bitch.
The 0bama years drained much of the funding.
My son in law worked for me, but there were always questions about how to pay him. After the Deepwater Horizon accident, they were closing entire buildings, in the middle of projects.
My retirement made a position for the son in law.
He is still there and doing well.
I miss work!
“(CP-1) reactor could not continue operating on the University of Chicago campus located in the middle of the bustling Southside neighborhood of Hyde Park.” 1942.
My Wife’s mother and aunt Went to Hyde Park HS. I think they graduated in 1940 though.
NAS Glenview. I Went to Church located on the flight path!
YOu could always count on the P-3s (I think) to fly over during the service.
Never went to Mars! Did not go to Springfield. Went to the School district the other side of Lk-Cook Rd. I grew up surrounded by Farms and tree nurseries. I played in places that now contain corporate Offices like Baxter labs and Walgreens. (My mother picked wild asparagus along the fences on Lake Cook Rd.) Once I could drive did the S curves on Sheridan Rd! Different standard for entertainment at the time for teenagers. (Yah, I know you did this too>)
OK A-M-P-S. U-Chic “A” pile “Metallurgical Lab”. not sure of the rest.(personal Safty?) (I would think that most of the Pile was removed. Some residual fissionable material remained?) under the cafeteria. Maybe this is wrong...
Time in the service involved Avionics. First courses taught Vacuum Tube theory. Came in when VN was almost over.
Science: think of me as a Liberal Arts student who hangs out the Science lab with his Physics major buddies. Exposed to a lot of interesting things he would rather be doing and of which he has some grasp, but its too late to change majors!
Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” Prospero is the magician and main character (Probably the designation for the Project lead!) He is stranded on a Desert Island with his daughter. whose character is the source of quote “Oh Brave new world!
I will read about the “Tempest Project” Sometime. (A lot of copper!)So..If I read about the “Tempest Project” Sometime. is the NSA going to start monitoring me, I mean, more than they monitor any of us here?
Hope it brings back memories!
“My Wife’s mother and aunt Went to Hyde Park HS. I think they graduated in 1940 though.”
To make the transition from Hyde Park, do you stop to decompress near Comisky Park on the journey north? So far from the White Sox and so deep into Cubs territory!
My mothers family lived in Portage Park, going south was never discussed.
There be dragons and who knows what down there and, I still shudder to think, you can fall off the edge!
I was over 21 and been around the world before I even considered venturing south of North Ave!
“NAS Glenview. I Went to Church located on the flight path!
YOu could always count on the P-3s (I think) to fly over during the service.”
A Swedenborgian? Their church was close to aligning the main runway to the south.
Baptized, grammar school, Confirmed, Married all at Immanuel Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Glenview, Illinois.
My family was deeply embedded in that Church and some are buried there. About a mile east of the main runway on Chestnut Ave.
“Went to the School district the other side of Lk-Cook Rd. “
Not one of the dreaded Deerfieldians?
We’ve always been at war with Deerfield! Or is it Eastasia???
As a kid, we used to ice skate on the local creek, the old West ForkNorth Branch of the Chicago River up past Dundee rd, about a three miles up. Don’t recall if we made it to Lake-Cook? Some of my classmates at the Lutheran school made the long trip each day down from Deerfield.
“Once I could drive did the S curves on Sheridan Rd! Different standard for entertainment at the time for teenagers. (Yah, I know you did this too>)”
OH, YES!
They called it THIRTEEN TURNS or the RAVINES.
Raced motorcycles there on warm summer nights.
Arriving late one night, just as they placed a buddy in the ambulance, hospital time for MAJOR pavement rash.
That and another friend missed a turn and rode into a backyard pool! Was he ever unhappy.
Twenty old men at a party, they managed to drag his Norton to the shallow end, but could not lift it out of the pool! His bike spent the night underwater.
I think Winnetka placed a sweet bounty on motorcycles after that.
“I would think that most of the Pile was removed.”
I went for a ‘look-see’ and there were some long chunks of pipe and other junk.
Probably safe but a bit above background.
Some jamoke troublemaker calls the newspapers.
Notice the golf cart in one of the photos?
Argonne safety officers ‘patroled’ from probably the same cart. Never met anyone with a nice word about them.
One mornings headlines on Sun Tomes “ARGONNE TO CLOSE”.
One of my guys holds up the paper to the safety team and shouts, We are all getting a layoff, don’t bother me!
And they left.
A DOE Tiger team comes by and do not have any PPE (personal protective equipment) required to enter, so they are switching glasses and shoes around.
If I told someone to do that I would still be in Leavenworth.
They wrote me up because someone had a bandaid on their finger, scratched pruning raspberries at home!
I failed to report it! Now on my permanent record.
I enjoyed going in early to have coffee and watch the deer before work. Sometimes bring the kids on occasion too.

SAD.
“First courses taught Vacuum Tube theory.”
They are resistant to EMP, the audio guys love them, maybe they will come back?
My father was career Navy, So naturally, I went Army Infantry.
Was a good time, except for a couple of holes added to my head and hide. I receive a modest rebate to my fed income tax each month.
“Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”.
Had heard of Prospero didn’t know about him.
One simply needs to enjoy anything from the writer of:
“...If we are mark’d to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.”
“...And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
Yes, I did paraphrase that speech at work one late October day.
Scuttlebutt was, the Temptest room was not actually a lab in a lab building but a continuously tested ‘safe room’? One of many across the USA.
” is the NSA going to start monitoring me, I mean, more than they monitor any of us here?”
NSA? Who knows?
I do know for a fact, the Spelling and Grammar Police have me on speed dial! A known repeat offender!
“Hope it brings back memories!”
Yes, thank you.
The odd thing is I sometimes have night dreams of ramping up a new project at work? And many say they cannot wait to escape?
