About this movie

The Pollinators is a cinematic journey around the United States following migratory beekeepers and their truckloads of honey bees as they pollinate the flowers that become the fruits, nuts and vegetables we all eat. The many challenges the beekeepers and their bees face en route reveal flaws to our simplified chemically dependent agriculture system. We talk to farmers, scientists, chefs and academics along the way to give a broad perspective about the threats to honey bees, what it means to our food security and how we can improve it.

Ratings and reviews

A great peak behind the scenes on what it is pollinators have to deal with and the enormity of the task. You will think about your almonds and apples very differently post viewing. Amazing footage of the bees in real life conditions and the men who work with them. Thank you for this docu÷insight.

What a fantastic interesting story. Cinematography and production absolutely on point. Really illuminates one of the largest issues we are facing in the world when it comes to survival of humanity as we know it. A must see.

Sombering but informative and important. More people should see this film to understand what is truly going on with our food supply.
