World Bee Day at Cankarjev dom

On Monday, 20 May 2019, Cankarjev dom will celebrate World Bee Day with a special programme. You are cordially invited to attend the presentation of More than Honey, a book by Markus Imhoof, at 18.00 in the CD Club. Gorazd Trušnovec, President of the Urbani čebelar Society, and Franc Šivic, beekeeper, photographer and publicist, will talk to the author.

In More than Honey, Markus Imhoof, director of an eponymous documentary film, and journalist and writer Claus-Peter Lieckfeld explore how people live with honeybees across the world: in an idyllic Alpine valley, in a laboratory with infinite monocultures – and in areas where bees no longer pollinate plants.
