Don’t miss the only second South Florida screening of Vanishing of the Bees, a beautifully filmed, critically acclaimed documentary about Colony Collapse Disorder — the mysterious phenomena that has been killing entire hives of commercial honey bees around the world. (Correction: the documentary also screened on Earth Day as part of a fund raising film and food event. See the writeup in the New Times.)
The screening will be held at the new, state of the art Coral Gables Cinematheque, and is sponsored by Slow Food Miami. Before the screening, there will be complimentary champagne, and savory and sweet local snacks for purchase. Farmer Margie Pikarsky and her crew are bringing honey and flowers from Bee Heaven Farm.
This documentary is independently produced and was many years in the making. Film director Maryam Henein and beekeeper John Herring will answer questions after the screening. All the proceeds from this event go toward Slow Food Miami’s program which builds school and community-based gardens.
Come support the filmmaker, Slow Food and bees. Tickets are $14 each, and you can buy them online. Click on the “reserve your spot now” button to pay by credit card. Hurry, there’s only a few seats left. This screening is one night only.

As always your blog is a pleasure to read. Sorry I missed the bee film.
Glad that you’re still entertained by the blog! 🙂 If anyone who missed the screening wants to see the film, DVDs are available on the film’s web site. Got my copy at the screening, and asked Maryam to sign it!
