The unexplainable phenomenon known as Colony Collapse
Disorder has left landscapes of empty beehives all across
America, threatening not only the beekeeping industry but
our food supply.
As scientists and beekeepers search for the cause, Colony
captures the struggle within the beekeeping community to
save the honeybee and themselves.
Colony documents a time of unprecedented crisis in the world
of the honeybee through the eyes of both veteran beekeeper,
David Mendes, and Lance and Victor Seppi, two young brothers
getting into beekeeping when most are getting out. As
Mendes tries to save the nation's collapsing hives, the Seppi's
try to keep their business alive amidst a collapsing economy.
