Kino Lorber has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray More Than Honey (2012), a documentary by Academy Award-nominated director Markus Imhoof (The Boat Is Full) and narrated by John Hurt (Alien, The Elephant Man) that examines the mysterious causes behind the worldwide decrease in the population of honeybees. The release will be available for purchase online and in stores across the nation on December 24th.

More than Honey was named Best Documentary at Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2013, Best Documentary - German Film Award 2013, and Best Documentary and Best Film Music - Swiss Film Award 2013. The film was also selected to represent Switzerland in the Foreign Language Film Category of this year's Academy Awards.

Official synopsis: In More Than Honey, filmmaker Markus Imhoof tackles the vexing issue of why bees, worldwide, are facing extinction. With the tenacity of a man out to solve a great mystery, he investigates this global phenomenon, from California to Switzerland, China and Australia. Exquisite macro-photography of the bees (reminiscent of Microcosmos) in flight and in their hives reveals a fascinating, complex world in crisis. The film shows a detailed look at the breeding of queen bees, the laboratory process of a bee brainscan, and a hive facing the infection of mites.
