One of the most important natural wonders of our planet is in grave danger: the honeybee. The most industrious of all animals that reliably flies from flower to flower is slowly disappearing. It is a mysterious death that is being watched with concern all over the world. For life without the bee is unthinkable. It is the great nourisher of mankind. But today great demands are made on it: the world's need for natural products rests on its dainty wings. Between pesticides, antibiotics, monocultures and transport from plantation to plantation, the queens and their workers seem to be losing their strength. MORE THAN HONEY takes us into the fascinating universe of the bee. Director Markus Imhoof follows their fate from their own family beekeeping to industrialised honey farms and beekeepers. With spectacular footage, he opens our eyes to a world beyond blossom and honey that we will not soon forget.
