Did you know that the honeybee is Vermont's state insect? It is also the state insect in 16 other states. This fact might seem like trivia, but it is not trivial. Honeybees are crucial to our survival.
Bees are responsible for more than honey. They pollinate 70 of the 100 crop species that supply 90 percent of the world's food.
But last year alone, 31 percent of the honeybee population in the United States was wiped out.
Written and directed by Markus Imhoof, a Swiss filmmaker and descendent of a long line of beekeepers, More than Honey is the filmmaker's journey to discover why bees are dying all over the world.
