A golden humming cloud of honeybees arrived unexpectedly one sunny June morning and moved into a knothole in the siding of the house. Three weeks later, Mr. E. helped these mysterious creatures into a comfy wooden box in his garden and began to live the lifelong dream of herding millions of stinging insects and collecting their sweet honey. Please enjoy the adventures of Mr. E's Mysterious Bees.

Queen of the Sun

"Taggart Siegel, the director of "The Real Dirt on Farmer John" embarks on a pilgrimage across continents and centuries in his new upcoming film Queen of The Sun. Queen highlights unsung heroes who are dedicated to the survival of bees: from poets and philosophers to scientists and shamans, from political activists to biodynamic beekeepers. Across the globe Queen exposes the long-term effects of modern agriculture, and the industrial practices of beekeeping while sharing the mystery of the honeybee..."

I saw The Real Dirt on Farmer John in a tiny theater in the Marina District that seated about 20 people.  It was so tiny but came complete with red velvety floor to ceiling curtains and plush cushiony chairs.  I was the only one at the screening.  Too bad because it is a great film.  You can see it on netflix and I think it is worth it.  so  I am excited the director is making this film about bees.
