Bee Collective in Milano
We’re invited to the Expo Milano 2015 to present the Sky Hive Solar! The Sky Hive Solar makes it possible for anyone to keep bees in an urban surrounding as the bee hives are hoisted by solar energy. The new product has been engineered with financial help of Syntens, is certified to be placed in Europe and has better safety elements. The world exhibit in Italy has the theme Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.
The Sky Hive Solar will already be presented as a model at the Milano Design Week GREEN ISLAND program in the Giardino Terraggio from april 8 until 13. Will we see you there?
Adopt a Bee, Honey! filmavond bij Lumiere Maastricht
In het kader van Adopt a Bee, Honey wordt op dinsdag 17 december een filmavond bij Lumière Cinema georganiseerd, waarbij de documentaire ‘More than Honey’ wordt vertoond. Voorafgaand aan de film geeft Bee Collective kort informatie over de Sky Hive en imkeren in Maastricht. Na de film worden hapjes, gemaakt van Sphinxparkhoning, aangeboden.
DE FILM
Al vijftien jaar doet zich over de hele wereld een raadselachtig fenomeen voor; honderdduizenden kolonies van honingbijen lijken van de aardbodem te verdwijnen. Een virus? De grote hoeveelheden pesticiden? De industrialisering van de honingsector? Niemand weet het zeker. Op zoek naar antwoorden en verklaringen neemt regisseur Markus Imhoof ons mee op een fascinerende reis naar de betoverende wereld van de honingbijen. More Than Honey is een prachtige, maar verontrustende natuurdocumentaire van de producenten van We Feed The World. De film draaide reeds met veel succes op festivals als IDFA en Toronto en is vanaf april 2013 te zien in de filmtheaters.
