You come out of the film none the wiser as to where the bees have all gone. But you still learn a hell of a lot about them. Sep 5, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

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. Sep 5, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It is the elegance of its images that sets it apart from previous doomed bee documentaries. The footage of individual animals going about their business is a sight to behold. Jan 1, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

More Than Honey is a phenomenally well-researched and thorough study of bees and their complex influence on human civilization, and an in depth investigation of the honeybee colony collapse disorder. Jan 1, 2014 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

This Swiss documentary directed by Markus Imhoof about honeybee colonies in California, Switzerland, China and Australia was the Swiss entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards. After watching it I was so impressed by the visuals that it could be on the top if only visuals were to be counted for rating. It was very interesting documentary, and sometimes neutral view at honeybees and the way they are kept and cultivated across the world. I had a chance to see how in Austria, an elderly man keeps them the way his forebears did; in Germany they are rigorously studied by scientists; in the US their commercial possibilities are savoured destroying the essence of keeping them in the first place and in China they are worked harder than ever - if you can find any! [img]http://img.rlsbb.com/images/2013/07/28/more_than_honey_2012_1.jpg[/img] Everything in this documentary was perfect, especially photography and camera work, but one thing was missing - emotionally filled concern! We could even hear answers on the perennially fascinating question of whether bees are effectively buzzing cells in super-organisms... great thoughts about where are societies are heading... but never heard even a suggestion for a solution of the problem: why are the bees disappearing and what to do about it. Question was repeated few times, but answer was never given! [img]http://www.atthecinema.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/More-Than-Honey.jpg[/img] Nevertheless, even without that answer this is one of the best documentaries about bees I had a chance to see in my life. Fascinating, well directed, perfectly edited, brings us the mystery and the beauty of the bees .
