If you love foodie films or are passionate about bees, Queen of the Sun is one documentary that you’re not going to want to miss.
It investigates colony collapse disorder – a phenomenon that has decimated honey bee populations over the past five years – and its effects on food, farming, and the future.
Directed by Taggart Siegel (who also directed The Real Dirt on Farmer John), the film features Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk, and Vandana Shiva.
Here’s a short clip:

Thanks for telling us about this. There are currently no screenings scheduled in SoCal, which blows my mind, so I’m going to change that. HUge cause and very worthwhile to spread the word, as you know.
This looks so cool! I am in SoCal also, and want to see this. There are a lot of amateur beekeepers in this area, so there would be a lot of interest.
