Seattle Premiere of "Vanishing of the Bees"
Tuesday, November 2, 2010 at 12:29AM Essential Arts is pleased to announce the launch of the "Art+Agriculture" series, which kicks off on Wednesday, December 1st at Kane Hall with the Seattle Premiere of the documentary "Vanishing of the Bees."
The film--presented with a honeytasting of local honey, a Q&A with beekeepers, and guest appearances by three performing poets--chronicles the continuing crisis of colony collapse, and makes a compelling argument for what might be causing it.
The screening is a benefit for Seattle's Pollinator Pathway, an effort to create habitat for Seattle's local pollinators. It's co-presented by the Puget Sound Beekeepers Association, and sponsored by the UW's Program on the Environment and Seattle Tilth.
