A new documentary about disappearing bees, <a href=”http://www.queenofthesun.com/”>Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?</a>
<em>, </em>examines the global bee crisis through the eyes of beekeepers, scientists, farmers and philosophers. According to its website, the film unveils 10,000 years of beekeeping and highlights the impact of industrial agriculture on the relationship between humans and bees. </p>
<p>From the makers of <a href=”http://www.angelicorganics.com/ao/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=148&Itemid=182″>The Real Dirt on Farmer John</a>, the film features Michael Pollan, Vandana Shiva, and Gunther Hauk as well as beekeepers from around the world who keep bees in natural and holistic ways. Instead of focusing on commercial beekeepers, the filmmakers say the documentary emphasizes the biodynamic and organic communities who have differing opinions from many commercial beekeepers about the causes and solutions of colony collapse disorder, the global phenomenon where honeybee colonies vanish from their hives.</p>
