- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 04:15 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Plight of the Bumble Bee is a captivating short film that takes you deep into the world of bees and their profound connection to Irish religion, folklore, and biodiversity.


With moments of sadness, humour and ultimately hope, the film beautifully weaves a narrative that highlights the urgent need to protect biodiversity, both in Ireland and across the globe. The documentary features heartfelt interviews, including with the likes of Kilkenny native, 81-year-old Peter Walsh, who has been counting bees in the same spot in Kilkenny since 1959, environmental psychologist Christine Mullan-Jensen, and Skerries locals Charlie and Marion Heasman, who have created a remarkable 5km-long biodiversity corridor. The stories of the Irish saints associated with the bees are colourfully animated by Ruth Clinton, Clare Henderson and Peter Crann.

Accompanied by unique live soundtrack of traditional Irish music composed by Brenda Castles and performed by Brenda on concertina, guitarist Tony Byrne, and Erin Hennessey on violin, Plight of the Bumble Bee is a celebration of nature, community, and resilience. 

This event is taking place in the QUB CaptureLab.
