Bees also are cheap and available. They also pollinate about 33 percent of foods destined for human consumption. On film, bees are evil. A busload of children is a prime target and a cast including Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Dan Haggerty does battle with the swarm. Berenbaum says the film will become the most bee-wildering one ever shown in the festival's history.
Admission is free.
Between the films, a variety of bee-related broadcasts will be aired, including cartoons, commercials and segments of variety shows featuring bees. Berenbaum started the festival as a way to educate people about insects and entomologists by focusing on the inaccurate and often ridiculous attributes given to them in films.
