‘Queen of the Sun’ explains plight of honeybees

“Queen of the Sun,” the new advocacy documentary from Taggart Siegel, is a movie about bees but also about the countless ways we bend, distort and exploit nature to our ends. The documentary casts bees as the canary in the coal mine, a warning that long-term effects of mass food production could have consequences for humans as well as honeybees.
