Silence of the Bees
Like any other day, Kentucky bee farmer Chester Wincott takes his routine stroll to check his beehives. There’s one problem. His bees are gone. Alarmed, he contacts the local county extension agent who, in turn, calls the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The incident sparks national media interest and becomes the topic of debate.
Based on real-life theories about the disappearance of America’s honeybees, this fictional account explores the origins of Colony Collapse Disorder, the experts and pundits who weigh in with the “whys”, and the eerie and possible inevitable result if the human race continues its current course.
