I would like to know if Doug Shultz can contact me, I am a bee biologist and decipherer of the beekeeping section from the ancient Maya book ( Madrid Codex) Interested in the film process to bring this story out.

Ellen Greer -- November 13th, 2008 at 5:17 pm

The NC Zoo is opening a Honey Bee exhibit next spring (09) and I’d like to use some short clips from the Silence of the Bees in an educational interpretive area. Can you tell me who to contact and how to purchase the rights to use clips of the film? Thanks.

Patrick Corbett -- November 15th, 2008 at 12:15 am

I am a graduate student at the University of Idaho and doing graduate research on Colony Collapse Disorder and the Incidence of Honey Bee Decline in the Palouse Clearwater Ecosystem. This is a highly agricultural area with pesticide and herbicide use. Do you have a list of resources outside of those that were mentioned in the film or at least a detailed list of those you did use? Thanks

Radu Vancea -- January 23rd, 2009 at 3:12 am

Hi, I would like to translate this movie into my native language and to publish it with subtitles on my beekeeping website (not for selling, just to inform the other beekeepers about the CCD). I can do that if I will keep the credits in the begining and the end of the movie? Thank you.

i’m curious who funded your program… I can’t find any credits of which foundations or corporations helped you create your film.
