DVD's on Bees and Beekeeping

More than Honey

Over the past 15 years, numerous colonies of bees have been decimated throughout the world, but the causes of this disaster remain unknown. Depending on the world region, 50% to 90% of all local bees have disappeared, and this epidemic is still spreading from beehive to beehive - all over the planet. Everywhere, the same scenario is repeated: billions of bees leave their hives, never to return. No bodies are found in the immediate surroundings, and no visible predators can be located.

Organic Beekeeping 101 DVD

Organic Beekeeping 101 focuses on raising bees the way nature intended. The purpose of the DVD is to enable anyone to become a beekeeper. Professionally filmed footage in a step-by-step format enables new beekeepers to establish and maintain their own hives using organic principles. Randy Sue Collins demonstrates how to start your own backyard hive, from building the hive stand to collecting the honey. The DVD follows Randy Sue as she goes on a swarm call and starts new hives from "scratch", while close-up high definition video takes you deep into the workings of an active hive. The DVD also includes a forward that describes the plight of the honeybee in the United States and ways in which anyone can contribute to the health of the environment and the honeybee. This DVD is based on fully organic principles. Randy Sue believes that bees, left to their own natural processes, become their own pest control agents. Bees developing resistance to mites, pests and fungus will survive without support of chemicals or other pest control practices.

Vanishing of the Bees

Honeybees, a keystone species vital to sustaining our ecosystem, are mysteriously disappearing across the planet, literally vanishing from their hives.

Known as Colony Collapse Disorder, this phenomenon has brought beekeepers to crisis in an industry responsible for producing apples, broccoli, watermelon, onions, cherries, almonds and a hundred other fruits and vegetables. Commercial honeybee operations pollinate crops that provide one out of every three bites of food on our tables.

Narrated by Academy Award nominee Ellen Page, "Vanishing of the Bees" follows commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg and Dave Mendes 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.

Filming across the US, in Europe, Australia and Asia, this documentary examines the alarming disappearance of honeybees and the greater meaning it holds about the relationship between mankind and mother earth. As scientists puzzle over the cause, organic beekeepers indicate alternative reasons for this tragic loss. Conflicting opinions abound and after years of research, a definitive answer has not been found to this harrowing mystery.

Following the story for three years, directors George Langworthy and Maryam Henein chronicle the innermost thoughts and feelings of beekeepers and scientists as they fight to preserve the honeybee and make it through another day. Combining interviews from around the world, animation, 50's educational films and breathtaking nature cinematography, George and Maryam present not just a story about Colony Collapse Disorder, but a platform full of solutions, encouraging audiences to be the change they want to see in the world.

Special features include: "Honeybee Rescue" - how to remove a bee colony from your property without harming the bees and "Beekeeping in France" - which covers the history of beekeeping in France and the origin of the modern beehive, as well as an animated short film on the disappearance of honeybees by the film's animator, Antanas Skukas, entitled Colony Collapse Disorder (An Unfinished Story).

The BackYardHive DVD demonstrates how to care for bees in your backyard. The DVD demonstrates step-by-step how-to sections on where to place your hive, how to find bees for your hive, how to install your bees, how to work in your hive and how to process your honey.
