The Diocesan Center will host the New York debut of a documentary film, The Mystery of Honey Bee Society, on Friday, July 21, at 7 p.m., in Haik & Alice Kavookjian Auditorium (630 Second Ave., New York). The film is by an Armenian production team led by longtime public servant Gagik Harutyunyan: the first and the longest-serving President of Armenia’s Constitutional Court, who has devoted his retirement from public life to apiculture: the study and care of bees (an occupational pathway pioneered in the early 20th century by the great S. Holmes). The film describes the intricacies of bee society, and warns about the danger of a possible extinction of bee species. Click the following links to watch the film trailer on YouTube, and learn more about the project on its website. You can also download a sample of the book by Mr. Harutyunyan, on which the documentary is based.
