"La Reine Malade" , a documentary of a beekeeper's year in the province of Quebec, was much more informative, and much better received. It was an entry in the Vancouver Film Festival here in B.C. If you get a chance to see it, it is well worth it. Has English subtitles. :)<br />Axel Krause<br />Vancouver, BC, CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-16651437961226877362011-11-14T22:11:44.833-05:002011-11-14T22:11:44.833-05:00I viewed it with a room full of beekeepers, at one...I viewed it with a room full of beekeepers, at one of our monthly beekeepers' association meetings. It was interesting, but not all that well received.Jay Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508024866813563349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-49649594120439025732011-11-14T13:42:36.498-05:002011-11-14T13:42:36.498-05:00Julia and I viewed it with a roomful of non-beekee...Julia and I viewed it with a roomful of non-beekeepers. While everyone found the shirtless guy funny, most were interested in the family that kept bees together and the man with the biodynamic farm in Ohio. Afterwards many of the viewers wanted to know from Julia and me how could they become beekeepers themselves - regulations in Georgia, etc. There were no reactions about it being a kooky business.Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-56121479014123529262011-11-14T13:36:45.342-05:002011-11-14T13:36:45.342-05:00I'm sorry, but I disagree.

Most of the beekeepers I know are not kooks. In recent years we've made strides to become more acceptable in urban and suburban areas. Portraying us as kooks is not conducive to that effort.Jay Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508024866813563349noreply@blogger.com
