  • 10/25 Popcorn and a "Bee" Rated Movie

    Green Grads and EcoHouse Learning Community are hosting the documentary film “Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us?”  Thursday, October 25 at 6 PM in the Homer Babbidge Library Video Theater 2.  Please join us for free popcorn and viewing the movie!

    This engaging and ultimately uplifting film takes an alternative look at the global bee crisis by weaving the unusual and dramatic stories  of the catastrophic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive. The film explores the struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers to solve the bee dilemma.  Featuring Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk and Vandana Shiva, Queen of the Sun reveals both problems and solutions in renewing a culture in balance with nature.
