Le Silence des abeilles
Daniel De Roulet

Why is the bee population declining? Because they’re being poisoned? Because they’re being overexploited for their honey or their venom? Scientists are looking for answers. Sid, a bee-keeper who is fascinated by his protégés, tries to understand this worrisome development. Born in the early 80’s, he is the abandoned only son of ex-60’s hippies. He hates his full first name, Siddhârtha, which led to his school nickname, Sida (Aids in French). Left to his own devices practically since birth, he doesn’t know where he belongs. That is why he tries so many different milieus: from the Davos Forum’s to wise bee-keepers’, from Neo-Nazism to the Neo-Nomadism a strange Japanese telephone operator suggests. In a land of milk chocolate and honey, on a planet where humans can’t survive without bees, The Silence of the Bees is definitely the Bildungsroman of a certain youth.
