Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us by Taggart Siegel

Description: Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us by Taggart Siegel 9781905570348 In autumn 2006, an unnerving phenomenon hit the United States; honeybees were mysteriously disappearing from hives across the nation, with beekeepers reporting losses of between thirty and ninety percent of their colonies. The problem soon spread to parts of Europe and even Asia, earning the name Colony Collapse Disorder. To this day no one is quite sure why it is happening or the exact causes. However, in 1923 Rudolf Steiner predicted that bees would die out within a hundred years if they were to be reproduced using only artificial methods. It is startling and worrying that his prediction appears to be coming true. Queen of The Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us? is a companion book to the critically acclaimed film of the same name. Compiled by the film's director Taggart Siegel, it makes a profound examination of the global bee crisis through the eyes of biodynamic and organic beekeepers, scientists, farmers, philosophers, and poets. Revealing the mysterious world of the beehive and the complex social community of bees, the book unveils millennia of beekeeping, highlighting our historic and sacred relationship with bees, and how this is being compromised by highly mechanized and intensive corporate agribusiness practices. The bees are messengers, and their continuing disappearance is a resounding wake-up call for humanity. With full-color, stunning photography throughout, this engaging, alarming, but ultimately uplifting anthology begins with an account of how Siegel's film came to be made. It continues with a wealth of articles, interviews, and poems that offer unique philosophical and spiritual insights. In addition to investigating many contributory causes of Colony Collapse Disorder, the book also offers remedies and hope for the future. Queen of The Sun features contributions from Taggart Siegel, Jon Betz, David Heath, Gunther Hauk, Horst Kornberger, Jennifer Kornberger, Jacqueline Freeman, Johannas Wirz, Kerry Grefig, Michael Thiele, Raj Patel, Vandana Shiva, Jeffery Smith, and Matthew Barton. These compelling voices signal a growing movement striving to find a culture fully in balance with nature.

All items I ship are carefully packaged but in the event of a problem they are also fully insured against loss or damage. I use the eBay shipping program, so tracking information is automatically uploaded as the item is shipped. The preowned item is from a smoke free home and is sold as described and as shown. Being preowned, I try to describe any flaws that I find as best I can, but something may get overlooked from time to time. Thank you for looking and if you have any questions, please let me know. Payment Payment for your item is expected at the close of the auction or when purchased. I will gladly hold a purchase if you need me to, but you have to let me know of delayed payment. After 2 days without communication or payment, sales will be cancelled and item relisted so I can get my clients items sold and recover selliing fees. Shipping Because I sell on consignment I cannot offer free shipping. All shipping is based on the actual weight and size of the item when packaged and is calculated by the sources available through eBay using the discounted on-line pricing. All items are shipped insured to protect my client, you the buyer, and myself. The insurance covers both shipping cost and item cost. In the event of a claim, I also refund the insurance cost, since I made you pay for it. What this simply means is that if you receive a damaged item, you receive 100% of your purchase price once the claim is approved. I ship via FedEx, and USPS only and purchases are usually shipped the same day that they are paid for and no later than next business day unless you are informed of a delay. Tracking numbers are automatically sent to you once the shipping label is printed. If you have any questions or if you would like to specify any special shipping requirements please let me know before payment is made. I will gladly combine the shipment of items purchased ending within three days of each other. If you win an auction and are bidding on more items please let me know to wait on payment until the end of the other auction(s).

Pictures are considered part of the description. No returns are accepted. About Us A little about me. I am a professional organizer that helps my clients get back some of the money that they have tied up in stuff through eBay consignment selling. I take a small percentage of the auction sale price to cover my costs and pass the rest back on to my clients to help cover the cost of services as well as get some money back. I try to only sell items that I predict will sell for more than $25 or are collections for easy listing. Because I am not a collector of the items that I sell my descriptions are based on what my clients can tell me or what I find through online research. If you know interesting facts about an item I am listing, please let me know and I will update the listing as well as inform my client. Because I am selling items from my clients who have hired me as a professional organizer, I am always finding unique items to sell. Whether it is the collections of antiques passed on from a relative, the equipment from a business closed more than 50 years ago, or the forgotten items bought as gifts and hidden away in a closet for years, I am always amazed at what my clients have for me to sell. The items I sell must meet the standards for being clean, working (unless noted), odor and smoke free.Please add me as one of your favorite sellers and watch what I run across next. Most of my listings are now Buy it Now, with the option to make an offer. As long as it is reasonable, as you can see from my feedback of previous sales, I accept a lot of offers. Please note, the shipping is considered a part of the cost of the item to the buyer. When making offers, please remember that I do not offer free shipping. Unless my client asks to have the item started higher, I start my auctions at $9.99 and let the market determine the value. I feel that by starting at a low price, I will attract more watchers to an item, and that you as a buyer have the opportunity to purchase a valuable item at a discount. Very seldom does an item ever have a reserve on it and if it does, the reserve price is listed in the details of the item, and the reason for it. Like I say, I do my best to describe items I am selling. I take pictures from all angles to give you the best look at an item and I take detailed pictures of damage/wear/age so that you are aware prior to purchase. All measurements are approximate only, using a tape measure, to give you an idea of size. If you require any more information on an item, please feel free to ask and I will get back to you. Pertinent information from questions is posted on the auction listing. Feedback Positive feedback is very important to me. If for any reason you cannot give me a 5 star rating and positive feedback, please let me know so I can remedy the situation. I leave only positive feedback, and I leave feedback right after I pack and ship the item. When you receive your item, you will realize that I believe in recycling. My boxes are from fellow small business owners and are only used if they are undamaged. The packing material is also previously used from a local body shop. All material is clean or it is not used. The bubble wrap that is used to protect sheet metal auto parts is much stronger than the standard stuff from shipping suppliers, and thus will protect your item better. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know before your item is paid for. Contact Us Thank you for taking the time to read this information about my practices and policies. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to ask. For all correspondence, please send through the eBay messaging system. By using eBay there is a record of messages and no excuses of unreceived emails. I am always open to improving my service, and would love to be added as one of your favorite sellers.
