Imagine half a million adults skipping town and leaving their children behind. Picture an opened suitcase filled with bundles of cash at a bus stop and yet no robber wants to snatch it. CCD displays these very symptoms. Not only do the bees abandon their hive, but the queen and the brood as well. Even the predators that usually raid the hive for honey stay far away. At first, this occurrence sounds like an urban legend or an exaggerated tale. It\u2019s not. The situation is both dire and all too real. Bees are  disappearing all over the planet and no one knows why.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vanishing of the Bees<\/em> takes a piercing investigative look at the economic, political and ecological implications of the worldwide disappearance of honeybees and empowers the audience to fight back. The film follows two commercial beekeepers as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts across the U.S. The film explores the struggles they face as the two friends plead their case on Capitol Hill and travel across the Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect their honeybees.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on protecting honey bees and other pollinators, see Beyond Pesticides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/pollinators\/index.htm\">Pollinator program page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, September 27, 2011) Beyond Pesticides invites you to join the our board of directors and staff to celebrate 30 years of protecting public health and the environment through science, policy and grassroots action on Thursday, October 27, 2011 in Washington, DC.
