Bees have been disappearing in huge numbers with serious and potentially catastrophic consequences. QUEEN OF THE SUN explores this phenomenon, called Colony Collapse Disorder, and weaves an unusual and dramatic story of the heartfelt struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world to understand and fight this crisis. Through a pilgrimage around the world, 10,000 years of beekeeping is unveiled, highlighting how our historic and sacred relationship with bees has been lost due to highly mechanized industrial practices. Inspiring, humbling, thought provoking, entertaining, and beautifully shot, QUEEN OF THE SUN is an irresistible romance about the essential role that our oldest domesticated animal, the honey bee plays in maintaining earth’s fragile ecosystem. Featuring Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk and Vandana Shiva.

Join us for a post-screening discussion about beekeeping, sustainability and climate change with local Urban Beekeeper Cameron Stiff, who keeps his bees in the Mile End Meadow.
