Colony

the Endangered World of Bees
Aug 09, 2011HereHere rated this title 2 out of 5 stars
Too much of a christian/religious focus for my taste, but the negotiations of the farm were interesting. Basically, to sum it up, after the banking crisis, the almond growers refused to pay what they were used to paying. The bee company clients signed a contract to rent bee fertilization at $170/colony, but came back begging for $150. The farmer agreed to $160 much to the distraught mother. It meant that they were losing money by being beekeepers; at a time when colony collapse disorder is hitting beekeepers too. It looks grim. For a much better film on the subject, I recommend Queen of the Sun and pass on this one.
