The disturbing "documentary" i.e. pro-pesticide propaganda piece "More than Honey" is worth watching for two reasons:
#1-you should be aware of the sophistication of the disinformation tactics that are being used to take the focus off neonics; the blame for demise of the honeybee is placed on everything but pesticides: mites, diseases, loss of forage, and climate change (with no mention of neonicitinoids in the entire movie).
#2-it is very well-produced, with some of the most amazing bee photography you have ever seen.
