We recently got interested in keeping bees. We've flirted with the idea of setting up a hive in a noncommittal (read: airy fairy) kind of way off and on for years, but then someone issued a casual challenge by asking, why not? We couldn't think of a reason why not - lots of excuses, but no good reason - so one of us said, "OK, we'll do it."
Yeah, it was one of those unilateral group decisions. Don't you hate those?
Within days we were over at the Petaluma Seed Bank for a lecture on natural beekeeping, and then just this past weekend Vanishing of the Bees opened in Sonoma at the Sebastiani Theatre. We have the definite impression there's no turning back on the bee thing.
And how could anyone turn back - on the bee thing - after seeing Vanishing of the Bees? Oh my goodness, if you have the opportunity to see the film, do not miss it. And then take up the challenge yourself and do something (anything) for the honeybees.
