April 22nd: Honeyland - In Macedonia, the last native beekeeper relies upon traditional methods to harvest honey deep in the mountains. However, her livelihood is jeopardized when a nomadic farming family attempts to infringe on her beekeeping and competes with her for resources, all the while ignoring her beekeeping knowledge.
A Q&A with Ben Rodman will follow the screening.
Ben Rodman has kept bees since 2011 and provided colony rescue and removal services for several years. He's introduced several local beekeepers to the hobby via classes at the Farmette, contributed to citizen science projects such as NASA's hive scale project, and has been active in local affairs and sustainability since moving to Lyons in 2000.
