Stupidity: When Elena first sees the huge honeycombs in the giant beehive, she tells Herbert that they cannot possibly be honeycombs as they are much too big. Considering she spent the morning watching pitched battles with a crab the size of an elephant and a five meter tall baby bird, don't you think she might have grasped the concept of giant animals, birds, and insects by that stage?
Mysterious Island (1961)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Cy Endfield
Starring: Joan Greenwood, Michael Callan, Michael Craig, Gary Merrill
Visible crew/equipment: When the five men are going up the mountain, a crew member is seen beside a big rock, at the bottom left of the screen. (00:33:50)
Herbert Brown: I ran away from a battle. I've been running ever since. I got caught running away.
Sgt. Pencroft: Son, your whole Union Army's been running from mine for the last three years. Now we're running away from you. You needn't feel special about it.
Question: Considering how relatively small the island is and how big the bees are, what kind of plants and/or flowers would have enough pollen to supply the hive to produce the honey? (01:02:00)
Answer: Since that is never shown, any answer would be speculation.
