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. Read full review

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. Read full review

Astonishing macro-photography captures the bees in all their surreal beauty, presenting a tribute to nature’s “messenger of love” and a warning of what might be lost. Read full review

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. Read full review

Most striking in “Honey” are closeups of the bees in their hives, symbiotically working together in creating their new queen: Imhoof rightfully spends time detailing the extraordinary nature of bee social structure. Read full review

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.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.… Expand
