We were gifted with the tickets to this must watch documentary and indeed it was one of the days that we will remember for the rest of our lives...
Queen of the Sun...what bees are trying to tell us? a documentary was screened in our community past Friday in a very historic Bal Theatre in San Leandro, a unique theatre to encourage community based activities and much more...
Some of the insights that emerged from watching the movie:
Bees: an exquisite creature shows all humans, how to lead a life of service, selflessness, letting go of ego, and working towards every ones benefit!
The movie also showed us that beauty of one seed is that it can multiply into a million and bees are the ones that help one seed to become a million through their work of pollination.
Bees also show us that there is no competition, no getting ahead of pack, no stars, everyone works with humility and do whatever is needed to build a thriving community, we totally believe in this and these values are most important to build healthy, happy and compassionate families and kids.
At one point one of the bee-keepers in the movies pointed out a very fascinating point, that is-- humans and bees are drawn to similar beauty in flowers, similar texture, aroma and reflecting on it, we too felt it's very true...
The movie also explores the effects of the pesticides and GMO (genetically modified) seeds on bees, when bees are exposed to these pesticides and GMO plants and seeds, they loose their innate sense of direction and sense of their colony and as a result they get lost and tend to become isolated and die...Imagine for a moment how would it be to forget our own home, family, and everything that we have known in this life time? It also brings up this question - how can we humans choose to use such dangerous chemicals that has detrimental effects on our overall ecology?
Call for Action:
1. Grow bee friendly variety of flowers.
2. Grow naturall, don't use any pesticides, GMO.
3. Buy local organic honey.
4. Maintain clean water source in neighborhood for bees.
5. Become a bee keeper.
6. Don't grow mono-agriculture crops, such as hundreds of acres of almonds in central valley, Ca, instead support around the year bee friendly bio diversity agriculture.
7. Campaign for policy change to support for urban bee keeping.
8. Learn the truth about bees, not all bees are same, honey-bees move in swarms, don't fumigate or terminate their hives when they start building around your homes, opt to rehab them in a safe, non-violent way and gift bees a new safe home :-)
