Without any preachiness, this magically beautiful film urges us to take better care of the bees, and honor the irreplaceable things that they do for us.

More Than Honey isn't just 91 minutes of dead bees. Who could bear that? Instead, it's a delightful, informative, and suitably contemplative study of the bee world and the bee-population crisis, though in the end it does offer enough dewdrops of hope to fill up a bluebell or two.

A film whose fascination with bees and their mammoth impact on the global food chain extends far beyond the subject of colony collapse disorder. Arthouse audiences will eat it up.

The message to take home: put a pot of lavender on your windowsill. Save bees!

Although the unexplained collapse of honeybee colonies is a global problem, the most startling moments in Markus Imhoof’s documentary take place on a microscopic level.

Important subject, amazing execution and pictures. Shows a nice mix of personal impassioned footage, objective study of bees, and grand scale human culture and the interplay between bees and people. It really is the ultimate bee film. Maybe one of the ultimate environmental films as well. Solid work. Critics seem to focus on the narrative structure, but if you care about the information presented, any questionable structuring or resolution should be a minor issue. I was fine with it btw and only mention it because some critics addressed it. Overall, lots of gorgeous footage. Lots of relevant interviews. Good insight and overview. Great for educational purposes, personal as well as institutional.
