More Than Honey

Hi bee people! I'm currently watching (ok half watching) this movie. Curious if anyone else has seen it, and what are your thoughts?

My DH is the beekeeper of the family and he is horrified and I think more motivated than before to get his hives up and running again.

Haven't seen it but now I might have to watch it.

I'll have to finish it tomorrow because I'm exhausted, but I think it's worth watching. I don't know much about bees, though.

All the research I have read really points to Varroa mites as the number one problem. Granted, the pesticides play a part, but Varroa is the killer. It is darn near impossible to raise bees without treating for Varroa mites in one form or another.
