Through interviews with prominent Beekeepers including David Hackenberg, the discoverer of Colony Collapse Disorder, to the ancient writings of Virgil and Aristotle on bees; "The Beekeepers" mixes poetry, myth and science in its quest to understand the current crisis of Colony Collapse Disorder. Using experimental techniques in a mixed medium format, "The Beekeepers" asks, 'if the honeybee is the new canary in the coal mine, what happens if this new canary dies?'
