While growing up in Ohio, Libby Patterson, now popularly known as the Perfume Doctor, participated in the first Earth Day celebration in 1970 planting trees. Today’s show covers Earth Day topics such as collective efforts to reverse the disappearance of bee populations (colony collapse disorder), successful vertical gardening in cities, and alternative food production methods like permaculture and aquaponics.<\/p>\n

\nColony collapse disorder<\/a>
\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
\nColony collapse disorder is a phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive or European honey bee colony abruptly disappear. While such disappearances have occurred throughout the history of apiculture, the term colony collapse disorder was first applied to a drastic rise in the number of disappearances of Western honey bee colonies in North America in late 2006.<\/p>\n
\nNarrated by Ellen Page
\nDirected by George Langworthy and Maryam Henein
\nVanishing of the Bees follows commercial beekeepers David Hackenberg and Dave Mendes as they strive to keep their bees healthy and fulfill pollination contracts across the U.S. The film explores the struggles they face as the two friends plead their case on Capital Hill and travel across the Pacific Ocean in the quest to protect their honeybees.<\/p>\n
