Rewilding Honeybees analyzes our current relationship with
honeybees and calls for a radical shift in beekeeping. In the United
States, beekeepers are losing 45% of their hives annually, but these
losses are not happening in the wild. This film tells the story of a
revolutionary beekeeper’s vision to restore honeybees' natural ways
of living. This could be a solution to saving honeybees. Featuring:
Michael Thiele - the pioneer of rewilding honeybees in North America
and Thomas D. Seeley - the foremost researcher of honeybees in the
wild.
