Vanishing of the Bees

Honeybees have been mysteriously disappearing across the planet, literally vanishing from their hives. Known as Colony Collapse Disorder, this phenomenon threatens the loss of much more than honey, since we depend on honeybees to pollinate one third of the food on our tables. Vanishing of the Bees chronicles the innermost thoughts and feelings of beekeepers and scientists as they fight to preserve the honeybees and make it through another day. Featuring experts like Michael Pollan, this award-winning documentary also presents a platform of solutions, encouraging audiences to be the change they want to see in the world. ©2010.
