Our Film

Is obviously for and with the honey bees.  We think it's everyone's bzzness to pay attention to what's happening in the honey these days.  The bees are whispering quite loudly and we are on a quest to pay attention, document our efforts & share them with the world.  

We continue to reach out to many of you in the Bee World, to keep us updated on bee-issues and to bee a part of our ongoing documenting.  Click here to share your bee story. 

Our Quest is one of finding how humans are working hand in wing with the bees to create locally focused circles of economics, sustainable food production while keeping the health of the hive alive! 

We are looking at honey bee lore, pollination projects, inspired beekeepers of all kinds, local honey's effect on humans, the bee-human relationship & of course, Bee-Positive efforts celebrating the Bee all over the United States.  

Where are we heading next...

We are at the end of making our Quest film, but continuing our filming adventure. We will begin our Quest NCTV television/web showing in the spring of 2012.
