Free Screening of "The Pollinators"

Join us at the Appalachian Forest Discovery Center on August 2nd for a free screening of The Pollinators!

The Pollinators is a cinematic journey around the United States following migratory

beekeepers and their truckloads of honey bees as they pollinate the flowers that

become the fruits, nuts and vegetables we all eat. The many challenges the

beekeepers and their bees face en route reveal flaws to our simplified chemically

dependent agriculture system. Beekeepers, farmers, scientists, chefs and academics

give a broad perspective about the threats to honey bees, what it means to our food

security and how we can improve it.

The screening will begin at 6:30 pm, and will be followed with a guided discussion. Light refreshments will be provided.
