The Boys and the Bees

On an idyllic farm in rural Georgia, young parents tenderly share their knowledge of life, love, and nature with their sons while teaching them the art of beekeeping.

The Boys and the Bees hums, buzzes and throbs with a terrain in flux. Landscapes shift, boys grow, bees are tended, mistakes are made, animals die, and new ones come to nest. The film’s scope is miniscule — boy finds the courage to tend a beehive. The film’s scope is enormous — a family uses their love of nature to repair the bonds of fatherhood and stewardship of the land.
