Description
Winner of the prestigious Peabody Award, Silence of the Bees explores one of nature?s most baffling mysteries: the disappearance of the honeybee! Beginning in the winter of 2006, millions of bees vanished from their hives without a trace. A precious pollinator of fruits and vegetables, the disappearing bees left billions of dollars of crops at risk and threatened our food supply. Join researchers as they follow the trail of clues to discover why honeybees were dying in record numbers and stop the epidemic in its tracks. Academy Award-winner F. Murray Abraham narrates.
This event is co-hosted by the Kootenai Environmental Alliance.
