MY GARDEN OF A THOUSAND BEES- MOVIE NIGHT Join the Town of Ulysses Bee Friendly Community Committee for a special documentary film screening called My Garden of a Thousand Bees on Monday, May 20 at 7pm at the Ulysses Library_ About the film: Locked down during the coronavirus pandemic, acclaimed wildlife filmmaker Martin Dohrn set out to record all the bee species in his tiny urban garden in Bristol, England. Filming with one -of -a -kind lenses he forged at his kitchen table, he cataloged more than 60 different species, from Britain's largest bumblebees to scissor bees the size of mosquitoes. He eventually got so close to the bees he could identify individuals by sight, documenting life at their level as we have never seen it before.
