In 1923, Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian Scientist, predicted that in 80 to 100 years honeybees would collapse. In 2007 his prediction came true with Colony Collapse Disorder. In an alarming inquiry into the insights behind Steiner's prediction Queen of The Sun examines the global bee crisis through the eyes of biodynamic beekeepers, scientists, farmers, and philosophers. On a pilgrimage around the world, 10,000 years of beekeeping is unveiled, highlighting how our historic and sacred relationship with bees has been lost due to highly mechanized industrial practices. Through the voices of Michael Pollan, Vandana Shiva, and Gunther Hauk the film weaves a dramatic story which uncovers the problems and solutions in renewing a culture in balance with nature.
