Product Description
Imagine half a million adults skipping town and leaving their children behind. Picture an opened suitcase filled with bundles of cash at a bus stop and yet no robber wants to snatch it. The apiary science mystery known as 'Colony Collapse Disorder' displays these very symptoms. Not only do the bees abandon their hive, but the queen and the brood as well. Unnatural. Unheard of. Even the predators that usually raid the hive for honey stay far away. At first, this occurrence sounds like an urban legend or an exaggerated tale. Except it s not. The situation is both dire and all too real. Bees are disappearing all over the planet and no one knows why.

This is a wonderful, insightful documentary into the disappearance of the bees around the world. As an American citizen I was particularly interested in the workings of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its responsibility for the present and future crises. Although no one seems to know exactly the reason for CCD(Colony Collapse Disorder) there are some definite indications of at least some of the blame. Single crop farming and the use of chemical pesticides seem to be at least partially culpable. In modern society we have forgotten where our food comes from. Apples, peaches, cherries, almonds, strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes and onions are just a few of the crops dependent on the lowly honey bee for pollination. How different our tables would be without them!

This film was not exactly what I expected. Most of the film was based in the USA, for some odd reason i wasn't expecting that.
A very informative video on the events currently taking place (when the film was shot). It might have lacked "epic" moments and cliff hangers like The Cove, or Sharkwater has, but none the less the facts are there, and they're frightening indeed.
A good film for grown ups as well as kids, although the kids might have to be explained a thing or two when it comes to the technical aspects.
I recommend buying it, if you're even just a little concerned for our environment and for the survival of these lovely creatures who we owe so much to.

this movie gives in depth an idea of the world of bees, the complexity of their work and the tremendous importance it has for maintaining human existence on the planet. It clarifies the role of organic growing and is subtle to put that as a solution. It evokes warm feelings towards the delicate creatures that compose the great symbiotic environment we live.

Good movie
It's a really interesting movie to watch. My only concern is that it wouldn't hurt to have a selection of subtitles on the dvd (there is not even an english version). Read more

Not impressed!!
I started watching this and after seeing a review in Heat magazine I thought it would be really interesting. But it wasn't! It reminded me of the dodgy 70's schools programmes! Read more
