After watching Markus Imhoof’s new film More Than Honey, the sound of bees will be like the sound of music to your ears. Bees are essential to humans, pollinating our crops far more efficiently than we could do ourselves, but in recent years the fatal trend of growing bee deaths has alarmed farmers, bee keepers, and environmentalists.

Shining a spotlight on what bees face is the new documentary More than Honey which opens this Friday at Laemmle theaters in Southern California. The film has been produced and directed by Oscar nominated film maker Markus Imhoof, who captures in exquisite miniature detail, the lives of bees and how humans have manipulated them to our benefit.

Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke with Markus Imhoof, producer and director of More Than Honey.
