LET IT BEE | A film by Vanessa Weber von Schmoller
“LET IT BEE” proves to be a documentary full of ideas and love for our nature. The film features people who are commited to the bees. The documentary illustrates how all of us can protect these insects, promote biodiversity and thereby turn our own place into a paradise.
A silent death has begun, the bees are disappearing. Next to the climate crisis, species decline is the biggest global threat. According to NABU, 150 animal and plant species are disappearing from our planet, every day. It’s the biggest decline of species since the extinction of dinosaurs.
The documentary „LET IT BEE” (Ein Himmel voller Bienen) shows what we can do to save the bees and other insects. The film presents individuals who are passionately working to prevent the decline of bee populations and the extinction of other species. They are an inspiration!
