Documentary exploring the current global honeybee crisis. What's the crisis? Bees are disappearing in mass numbers with no clear single explanation. Since 2006, media has been reporting the phenomenon with commercial beekeepers reporting losses of an average of 30% of their colony (some losses are as high as 90%).

Scientists call this phenomenon Colony Collapse Disorder. Told through the stories and opinions of biodynamic beekeepers, scientists, farmers, and philosophers from around the world, the film investigates the history of beekeeping, how our historic relationship with bees has been lost (due to highly mechanized industrial practices) and the dire implications of the crisis.

Sensing a big payday in the offing, fast-talking funeral home owner Frank (Bill Murray) enlists his gentlemanly young

discovers is that behind Felix's surreal plan lies a very real and long-held secret that must get out.
