Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?
Thursday, Jun 23, 2011 8:00p
The film 'Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us? is a profound, alternative look at the global bee crisis from Taggart Siegel, acclaimed director of the grass-roots hit 'The Real Dirt on Farmer John.'
Taking us on a journey through the catastrophic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive, this engaging and ultimately uplifting film weaves an unusual and dramatic story of the heartfelt struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world.

Humans have been keeping bees for 10,000 years. The last few have been the hardest. The incidence of colony collapse disorder has risen dramatically in Western Europe and, especially, North America. CCD is a phenomenon where bee colonies suddenly die off. This concerns not just entomologists and beekeepers, but the rest of us, too.
