"Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us" showing at Ukiah Library

DOCUMENTARY FILM SHOWING AT UKIAH LIBRARY. Sunday, June 30th, 2-3:30 pm.

Learn about the importance and beauty of bees from this award winning documentary that Roger Ebert called "revelatory."

"In 1923, Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian scientist, philosopher & social innovator, predicted that in 80 to 100 years honeybees would collapse. Now, beekeepers around the United States and around the world are reporting an incredible loss of honeybees, a phenomenon deemed "Colony Collapse Disorder." This "pandemic" is indicated by bees disappearing in mass numbers from their hives with no clear single explanation. The queen is there, honey is there, but the bees are gone." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1645852/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl
