Amidst the buzz of New York City, it’s pretty easy to feel disconnected from nature. I wanted to make a film about the possibility of connection to the natural world within an urban environment. Through his collaboration with thousands of honeybees who forage for nectar from local trees and flowers, John the beekeeper pays attention to nature’s cycles right here in Brooklyn.
