Vanishing of the Bees

, ,

Vanishing of the Bees is a 2009 documentary film and directed by George Langworthy and Maryam Henein. The story is centered on the sudden disappearance of honey bees from beehives around the world, caused by the poorly understood phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder or CCD. Although the film does not draw any firm scientific conclusions as to the precise cause or causes of CCD, it does suggest a link between neonicotinoid pesticides and CCD.
