Co-hosted with Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve
The historic Newtown Theatre will screen “My Garden of a Thousand Bees” on Tuesday, May 14 at 7:30 PM. This screening is co-hosted by Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve.
Taking refuge from the pandemic, wildlife filmmaker Martin Dohrn sets out to record the incredible variety of wild bees in his small garden. Dohrn is an expert at exploring the macroscopic world; his last project on ants with David Attenborough won numerous awards. In this film, he unravels a bee-filled universe inhabited by winged creatures of every size and shape.
From giant bumblebees to scissor bees the size of a mosquito, he has seen more than 60 species of bees in his backyard. As he gets sucked into this world, he narrates with the charm and informative voice of a man obsessed. Filmed with one-of-a-kind lenses forged on his kitchen table, this film illuminates its audience with unique natural history insights, and depths of behaviors never recorded before.
Online tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors/students, or $6 for members of the Newtown Theatre and Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve. Tickets will also be sold at the door if available.
