Our complex food system rests on the wings of the honey bee and the commercial beekeepers that move them from farm to orchard pollinating the crops that produce the food we eat. The Chilmark Library in collaboration with Island Grown Initiative presents The Pollinators, the award-winning cinematic journey around the United States following the migratory beekeepers and their truckloads of honeybees as they pollinate the flowers that become the fruits, nuts, and vegetable we all eat. We will talk to farmers, scientists, chefs, economists, and academics along the way to give a broad perspective about threats to honeybees and what it means to our food security.
