Bee Wild is an inspirational, upbeat, and poetic documentary that explores the foundational role that bees play in sustaining humanity, the reasons for their sharp population decline and how we can regenerate bees worldwide so they are once again part of a thriving ecosystem. Because we are losing 1 billion pollinators annually, the film will focus on the urgent nature of both bees and other insects that pollinate our food and emphasize ways that viewers can get involved in restoring, regenerating and nurturing this largely unseen world.
