QUEEN OF THE SUN-What are the Bees telling us

I attended the EEG?s 12^th Community Lecture for the year 2012 where the movie Queen of the Sun - What are the Bees Telling Us?  Was screened.  I strongly recommend everyone to watch this  movie.

I learnt some amazing facts about Bees, and how important they have been to us since ages and how fast their colonies are disappearing due to Human Intervention.  How important and crucial it is for man to save the Bees from disappearing and refrain from doing the Huge harm it is already doing by use of harmful pesticides and chemicals on the nature.  How much harm is coming to plantations and agriculture by Human acts is to be seriously thought about and damage repair implemented.

Some rare and amazing facts to share-
