Einstein once said: 'If bees ever die out mankind will have only four years left to live'. In the past five years billions of honeybees simply vanished for reasons still obscure. If the bees keep dying it will have drastic effects for humans as well: more than one third of our food production depends on pollination by honeybees and their life and death are linked to ours. Life without the bee is unthinkable. But between pesticides antibiotics and monoculture the queens and their workers are losing their power. More Than Honey a new documentary by the Swiss... filmmaker Marcus Imhoof is looking into the fascinating world of bees showing small family beekeepers (including the beekeeper of Erste Foundation beehive Heidrun Singer) and industrialized honey farms. More Than Honey is a film about the relationship between mankind and honeybees about nature and about our future. Honeybees show us that stability is just as unhealthy as unlimited growth that crises and disasters are triggering evolution.

Documentary narrated by John Hurt about the ever-increasing crises facing honey bees and the resulting impact on the Earth's global agricultural system. Through innovative camerawork, director Markus Imhoof gives an insight into the daily workings of the beehive and how bees are falling victim to numerous issues, leading to an overall decline in numbers. Travelling from North America through Europe and into China, we are shown how humans are beginning to introduce measures to alleviate the crisis but also how we may be partially to blame.
