You are so right!  The neighbors saw the movie and their kids said their
parents warned them to stay away from our bees.  Ours are particularly
gentle.  I often work around them in shorts and have not been stung.  I even
mowed the lawn once when I was in a hurry with a skirt on, mowed withing
inches from the hive entrances and survived it without even a look from the
bees.  How can we convince people that ours are not agressive when a movie
like that comes along?
 
So the next day, I brought the neighbor kids in and they watched the movie,
which my son had taped, and we re-explained about why such a thing was not
going to happen in the way it did in the movie, and certainly not with our
bees.
