The Strange Disappearance of the Bees

One-third of the food consumed by humans today is directly reliant on the bee. However, for the past several years, billions of bees have been dying for no apparent reason. This not only puts beekeepers in a difficult situation, but also poses a threat to biodiversity. International scientists from many disciplines are feverishly looking for an explanation.

The touching documentary film shows what the researchers have learned in recent years and what solutions they offer.
