Movie Night – Honeyland

Tuesday, February 27 @ 6 pm
We found the perfect movie for our 2024 Galveston Reads movie night! Join us for snacks and a movie that pairs just right with our 2024 title, The Music of Bees.

The synopsis for Honeyland is as follows: In Macedonia, the last native beekeeper relies upon traditional methods to harvest honey deep in the mountains. However, her livelihood is jeopardized when a nomadic farming family attempts to infringe on her beekeeping and competes with her for resources, all the while ignoring her beekeeping knowledge.

Registration is suggested but not required.
