A rare advocacy documentary that fully trusts its subject's ability to fascinate, More Than Honey enlightens without badgering -- and is all the more effective for it.

It's pretty clear that Imhoof is not a fan of US industrial-scale farming but rather than shove angry stats such as '80 per cent of plants rely on bee pollination' in your face, he prefers to fascinate viewers.

Imhoof's globetrotting odyssey is more concerned with contemplation than investigation.

A very compelling and fascinating documentary about honeybee biology, their vital importance to pollination & agriculture, and their recent ecological struggles in the 21st century.
