This is a key time of year to consider the importance of biodiversity and sustainability in our communities. Fruits and vegetables are being harvested and flowering plants are preparing for winter; this is the season when people work together to reap the earth’s bounty and appreciate the beautiful array of flavors, colors, and nutrients that keep us healthy. Here at Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us?, we hope that the spirit of harvest also reminds people that this diversity would not exist without the bees. They are an essential link in the agricultural cycle, and as they continue to disappear at alarming rates, the need to spread awareness about the causes and solutions to Colony Collapse Disorder becomes increasingly urgent.

The only Calgary screening of "Queen of the Sun" - Hosted in a community setting in the Kensignton landmark Ant Hill Building.

Join us for an evening of Bees and Beats.

• Starting at 7pm - with a screening of the film (and yes organic popcorn will be available).
• The movie will be followed by a honey and mead tasting.
• Then we will go late with music and the organic house beats of DJ ILLUMINATE

What are they saying about "Queen of the Bees":

 “ The feel-good advocacy movie of the year. ” - Box Office Magazine   

"Entertaining, gorgeous and relevant… Taking us on a journey through a wood of confusion toward rays of hope... Queen of the Sun demonstrates anew Siegel's rare eye and sensibility. The message here is vital and Siegel retains the gift of making you dream of making a difference."  -Shawn Levy, The Oregonian
