Good Food Film Series 
The Moscow Food Co-op presents “Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us?” as part of the Good Food Film Series. The film will be shown at 7 p.m., Wednesday, August 24 at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre at 508 S. Main in downtown Moscow, Idaho. Admission is $6 general public, $4 Co-op members. 

Movie-goers will be treated before the film begins to a sampling of foods featuring honey, or produce pollinated by honeybees. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Social time and discussion will follow this entertaining and thought-provoking film. 

Film summary: “Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?” is a profound, alternative look at the global bee crisis from Taggart Siegel, director of The Real Dirt on Farmer John. The film takes us on a journey through the catastrophic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive, this engaging and ultimately uplifting film weaves an unusual and dramatic story of the heartfelt struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world, including Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk and Vandana Shiva. Together they reveal both the problems and the solutions in renewing a culture in balance with nature. www.queenofthesun.com
