The public is invited to view a video presentation, “Nicotine Bees,” a documentary by Kevin Hansen, Saturday starting at 4 p.m. in Room 114 of the Electronic and Technology Building at the Kaua‘i Community College.
Hosted by the Kaua‘i Beekeepers Association, admission is free although a non-perishable food item for contribution to the Kaua‘i Independent Food Bank is encouraged.
Released in 2010, the video is about the worldwide collapse of honeybees and the role these insects play as pollinators for an estimated one-third of the world’s food supply.
The documentary, estimated to run for about an hour, explores the links between a new class of nicotine-based pesticides and the issue of Colony Collapse Disorder. A discussion of local apiary issues will follow the film.
