Queen of the Sun: What are the bees telling us?

This film takes a close look at the global bee crisis. Director Taggart Siegel juxtaposes the disastrous disappearance of bees with the mysterious world of the beehive. An unusual and dramatic story about the struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world. Together, they present both problems and solutions in the field of cultural renewal in accordance with nature. A plea for biodynamic beekeeping for everybody.
