New bee documentary

Posted on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 in Uncategorized

This article recently directed me toward a new documentary about bees and beekeeping, called The Last Beekeeper. Directed by Jeremy Simmons, the film follows the lives of three beekeepers, exposing the phenomenon of Colony Collapse Disorder and its effect on the beekeeping profession, as well as our dependency upon bees for pollination. Hopefully this film will educate and bring more awareness to the issues facing our bees.

View the trailer below, and if you still want more, treehugger.com has a forum going for people who wish to discuss the film and beekeeping issues.

Hi I was wandering how I could watch the new documentary. I am in Greece. Is there somewhere where I could download it?

I am searching for a documentary that depicted some chinese farmers pollinating their pear trees by hand.

Would you know which one that was?

Thank you for your help.

I don’t think the film has been released yet, so I’m not sure if you can view it online. I have never heard of the film about Chinese farmers. Sorry I couldn’t help more!
