The next PWRBA club meeting is Tuesday, November 8th, 7 pm at the Manassas Church of the Brethren. We will cover some new business such as our proposed nuc initiative program, plans for a Spring 2012 queen rearing class and upcoming elections and Bee School. We might even have time for a quick update from the Virginia State Beekeepers Meeting.
Then we will show the film, QUEEN OF THE SUN: What Are the Bees Telling Us? The movie “is a profound, alternative look at the global bee crisis from Taggart Siegel, director of THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN. Taking us on a journey through the catastrophic disappearance of bees and the mysterious world of the beehive, this engaging and ultimately uplifting film weaves an unusual and dramatic story of the heartfelt struggles of beekeepers, scientists and philosophers from around the world including Michael Pollan, Gunther Hauk and Vandana Shiva. Together they reveal both the problems and the solutions in renewing a culture in balance with nature.”
