The earth ' s entire agricultural production depends on bees but they are dying in countless numbers, and nobody knows exactly why. On every continent, beekeepers have seen the collapse of their colonies, a phenomenon that threatens the foundations of agriculture. The Ailing Queen follows Anicet Desrochers, a young, passionate beekeeper in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec as he works through the seasons to strengthen his kolonien' natural resistance and spread the word about his methods. Desrochers is a pioneer of a more ecological method of managing the bees, the fields they pollinate and, ultimately, the food we live by.
