A rare advocacy documentary that fully trusts its subject's ability to fascinate, More Than Honey enlightens without badgering -- and is all the more effective for it.

It's pretty clear that Imhoof is not a fan of US industrial-scale farming but rather than shove angry stats such as '80 per cent of plants rely on bee pollination' in your face, he prefers to fascinate viewers.

Rated: 3/5

More Than Honey is a reminder of how thoroughly humans have intertwined themselves with the other life on this planet, and vice versa.

Imhoof's globetrotting odyssey is more concerned with contemplation than investigation.

A very compelling and fascinating documentary about honeybee biology, their vital importance to pollination & agriculture, and their recent ecological struggles in the 21st century.

Beautifully photographed documentary presents its insights in a strangely impassive and unexcited tone, besides the global challenges facing bee cultures.
