The 80-minute show covers all sorts of topics filmed by artists 20 and younger as they share their visions for a more just and sustainable world from BC, Canada and across the globe.
Brighten up your garden with some bee-friendly flower seeds. Plant wildflower seeds in your garden, patio pots or window boxes, the Honeybees are vanishing...
Honeybees have been mysteriously disappearing across the planet, literally vanishing from their hives. Known as Colony Collapse Disorder, this phenomen has brought beekepers to crisis in an industry responsible for producing apples, broccoli, watermelon, onions, cherries and hundred of other fruits and vegetables. Commercial honeybee operations pollinate crops that make up one out of every three bites of food on our tables.
The docmentary, Vanishing of the Bees, which screens tonight at Black Cat Cinema, 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 Capital Hill and travel across the Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect their honeybees.
So I said I wouldn't be making any grand romantic gestures this Valentine's Day but I will eat my words for the Goldmoss Gallery. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. And if you haven't been to the Goldmoss Gallery then you should. They launched during the Sunshine Coast Art Crawl last year and I was smitten at first sight.
It seems I have a decision to make about what I'm going to be doing on Feb 12. And... it's just been brought to my attention that Dr Fun and the Painkillers are playing at Roberts Creek Hall. So while in the hood, maybe an art show then bopping away at a gig is the way to go? Argh decisions.
