The film "Vanishing of the Bees" (2010, 90 min.) examines the alarming and mysterious disappearance of honeybees across the planet. Known as Colony Collapse Disorder, this phenomenon has brought beekeepers to crisis in an industry responsible for producing hundreds of fruits and vegetables. The film follows two commercial beekeepers in their quest to protect their honeybees. Daniel Etherington of Channel 4 called the film “An essential documentary…If you like eating, see this film.” Part of The Backyard Homestead Summer Series co-sponsored by Chatham Real Food Market Co-op and the Common Hands Farm Project.
