QUEEN OF THE SUN: What Are
the Bees Telling Us?is a profound, alternative look at the global bee crisis
from Taggart Siegel, director of 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 including Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk and
Vandana Shiva. Together they reveal both the problems and the solution in renewing a culture in balance with nature.
Roger Reynolds Nursery of Menlo Park will display bee-friendly plants & give film attendees a 15% off coupon for plant purchase in their store 8/27-9/3. Kepler's will be offering a special discount on books this evening for film attendees, and WinVivo will be giving away samples of their Healing Balm. Catherine (Cat) Fraley of CoastalBee.com will join us to discuss honeybee swarm rescue and do honey tastings. A sweet evening not to be missed!
