Queen Bee
Queen Bee ~ The Ballet
Join the CTAC School of Ballet for Queen Bee, an original ballet written, composed, and performed by local band, The Lavender Lions.
A naive, nature-loving Beekeeper loves tending to his bees, yet is oblivious to the fraught ecosystem around him. The Queen Bee of his colony takes him on a journey into her world, and the two fall deeply in love with each other. Soon, Queen Bee realizes that humans are dangerous to her fragile world and that her love, the Beekeeper, is a part of it all. When the Beekeeper learns that the fate of his bee colony rests in the acts of all humankind, will it be too late for the colony and his beloved Queen Bee to be saved from destruction?
