Last summer, while getting ready for Netroots Nation, I had the extreme good fortune of speaking with Participant Media's Wendy Cohen. We were chatting back and forth via email about getting her org's item for the registration bags to the right place in Austin. This was a project that I was in charge of. (And the therapy's working great! I've almost completely shed the nightmares of stuffing thousands of orange bags...)
At any rate, during our email conversations, I learned that Wendy had recently produced her first documentary short, about honeybees. She sent me a link to her film, and I have to tell you, watching this short 9 minute documentary did change my life.
More, including a link to her documentary, below.

(Bees matter. - promoted by Asinus Asinum Fricat)
We garden, both vegetables and flowers, and have for many years. Some years, the yields are great, some years not so much; such it is with gardening. Sometimes it's the weather and sometimes it's the deer (once a moose!) that have clobbered our garden. Ordinarily, on average, we do pretty well. That isn't true this year.

I just love it when other countries do what America won't do. In this case, a German group, Coalition Against Bayer Dangers, filed a suit against Bayer CropScience for killing the bees.
The group accuses Bayer CropScience of "marketing dangerous pesticides and thereby accepting the mass death of bees all over the world."
The coalition filed the charge in cooperation with German beekeepers who claim they lost thousands of hives after poisoning by the Bayer pesticide clothianidin in May.
Details below.
