These two excellent award-winning films deal with bees and beekeeping and especially colony collapse disorder (CCD); the mysterious affliction discovered in 2006 that has destroyed honeybee populations worldwide. Bees; as both videos point out; are responsible for pollinating one-third of the fruits and vegetables we find in grocery stores. No bees in our future equates to no fruit and no vegetables. "Colony"explores a family of California beekeepers struggling to maintain their livelihood by supplying bees to pollinate almond trees in a declining economy. Although it speculates a bit on the cause of CCD; it concentrates on the condition's threat to commercial beekeeping; on bee health as an indicator of overall environmental health; and on the scarcity of domestic produce should U.S. bees disappear. "Vanishing of the Bees"provides a more focused exploration of CCD causes; which might include monoculture farming and the widespread use since 2003 of systemic pesticides; the effects of which may have been amplified by the certification process for chemical pesticides used in American agriculture. Both films feature commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg (CCD discoverer) and Dave Mendes; and both also include spectacular cinematography and excellent editing. Viewers will likely find "Vanishing of the Bees"more compelling; as it appears to be closer to identifying the causes of CCD. Both programs are highly recommended.
