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.

“Bees, Priestesses, and Prophecy,” a talk by Marguerite Rigoglioso, Ph.D., author of The Cult of Divine Birth in Ancient Greece and Virgin Mother Goddesses of Antiquity. Dr. Rigoglioso kicks off our film screening with a short but honey sweet presentation on what the bees meant in Western antiquity, and how they are particularly connected with women's oracular ability, women's use of sacred medicines to induce trance, and virgin birth. It's a story of female wisdom that offers directions for addressing today's ecological crisis."
