Sober but accessible, it's a fine primer for those unaware of bees' crucial role in our food system.

New York Times

Here is a movie that presents an intelligent vision of nature. What's pleasing to the eye is pleasing to the earth - a sentiment the film rigorously supports with science.

Culture Mix

Very dull and long-winded ... People who watch science-based documentaries expect more than just facts. Viewers also want to be told a story and see appealing personalities, not just hear a series of facts repeated, over and over.

Bee docu offers serious info, but delivery lacks sting.

Eye for Film

[The Pollinators] reaches out directly to viewers concerned about their own food choices, and also contributes to the mounting weight of evidence on the side of those pushing for reform.
