Queen of the Sun: What are the bees telling us? @ Cinecenta
Written by CFUV Communications on 07/10/2011
“Queen of the Sun†would be a warm, inviting title for any movie, but it’s the subtitle — “What Are the Bees Telling Us?” — that demands our attention. The bees are telling us they’re in big trouble and need our help. Portland-based Taggart Siegel continues his upbeat focus on eco-friendly advocacy. His choice of subject matter is environmentally urgent, but Siegel is a solution-savvy filmmaker who favors hope over gloom. That approach makes “Queen of the Sun” an uplifting call to action to solve a potentially disastrous problem. The culprit is Colony Collapse Disorder, a mysterious malaise that causes bees to abandon their queen and vanish from their hives. Because honeybees help pollinate the world’s food supply, this mysterious decimation demands the recruitment of responsible beekeepers everywhere.
