This book started strong in discussing the issues facing the honeybee, and the catastrophic effect of their pending population collapse. However it quickly adjusted to simply describing the current life of bees and beekeepers, abandoning the discussion of why the honeybees are so important to the world's ecology and food supply or what should be done to fix it. The last chapter discussed the making of the documentary of the same name, which was definitely interesting on its own-- but did not make up for the missed information I was hoping to read.
