THE VANISHING OF THE BEES, Tue 13 Oct


Film @ The Duke Of Yorks Picture House
THE VANISHING OF THE BEES,
Tuesday 13 October, 8.30

Honeybees pollinate one third of the food we consume, from apples to tea, but populations across the globe are declining dramatically. The causes are unknown, with theories ranging from poor weather and pests to pesticides.

Director: George Langworthy. USA/UK 2009. 102 mins.

THE VANISHING OF THE BEES investigates this potentially catastrophic problem through interviews with scientists and beekeepers, in the process asking wider questions about modern intensive agricultural processes.

Presented by The Co-operative as part of their Plan BEE programme. Find out after the screening what you can do to help halt the decline.
