New Documentary airs tonight on cable

"If all the bees die, what do you have to live for?" asks beekeeper Matt Hutchens.

The Last Beekeeper, produced by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, follows the lives of 
three commercial beekeepers in South Carolina, Montana, and Washington. Over the course 
of a year they struggle to come to terms with the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a 
phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive or European honey bee colony abruptly 
disappear. CCD threatens crops and world food supply along with the livelihoods of 
beekeepers.

The documentary follows the pilgrimage of the bees and beekeepers to the largest 
beekeeping event of the year—the mass pollination of California's almonds. The 
interconnectedness between bees and humankind becomes apparent as we learn exactly 
how much we depend on these waning insects. It is not just a bee or beekeepers' problem; 
it is a problem for us all.

Watch the world premiere of The Last Beekeeper on Planet Green, September 12, 2009.
