This film takes us viewers on a pilgrimage around the world, revealing ten thousand years of beekeeping and highlighting how our historic and symbiotic relationship with honey bees has been compromised due to modern mechanized industrial practices.
Queen of the Sun unveils the fascinating world of the honey bee colony and examines the current global bee crisis through the eyes of beekeepers, scientists and farmers, discussing both the problems facing these all-important pollinators and suggesting possible ways to bring them back into a balance with nature.
Guests are invited to join Dr. Nancy Greig, Director of the Cockrell Butterfly Center, for this one-night-only screening. Visitors can come early to learn about beekeeping activities and meet the HMNS beekeepers.
