"The Smell of Selfless Love: Sharing Vulnerability with Bees in Alternative Apiculture"
Kelsey Green and Franklin Ginn investigate the response to colony collapse disorder (CCD) of a committed group of beekeepers, examining the philosophies and practices of alternative apiculture along two axes: the gifts of honey and poison; longing, connection, and bee-worship.
More Than Honey
This film focuses on the causes of the decimation of honey bees and their hives around the globe, a phenomenon called “colony collapse disorder,” and its consequences for not only the economy but for humans’ very survival.

Welcome to the Anthropocene: The Earth in Our Hands
Together with the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, the Deutsches Museum hosted a major special exhibition on the Anthropocene from December 2014 – September 2016, which was curated by Nina Möllers. Coined by the atmospheric chemist and Nobel Prize laureate Paul J. Crutzen, the term “Anthropocene” describes the idea of a new geological era shaped by deep interventions into nature by humans as biological and geological agents.
