More Than Honey [DVD]

SYNOPSIS 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
