"Pollen Nation: In the last 30 years, the number of honeybees in the US has been cut in half. The beekeepers say it takes more and more work to keep their bees alive as they battle new problems wrought by pesticide use, destruction of habitat, the stress of trucking them around the country, and epidemic infestations of mites and viruses. This film follows the journey of one commercial beekeeper -- third generation beekeeper Jeff Anderson -- from the honey harvest on the High Plains to the warm winter --feeding grounds of California. It also explores the history of human interaction with bees, a story that reflects the development of agriculture."@en

"A fascinating documentary about the mysterious disappearance of bees from beehives all around the world. The film's aim is a better understanding of 'Colony Collapse Disorder' (CCD), a phenomena in which honey bees abruptly abandon both their queen and brood for reasons as yet not fully known. The situation is dire and only stands to get worse and so, with that in mind, the documentary examines all scientific and environmental links to CCD."
