From giant bumblebees to scissor bees the size of a mosquito, wildlife filmmaker Martin Dohrn has observed more than 60 species of bees in his tiny urban yard in Bristol, England. Sidelined by the Covid pandemic, Dohrn decided to film the incredible variety of wild bees in his garden. An expert in macro photography, Dohrn unveils a bee-filled universe inhabited by winged creatures of every size and shape. Filmed with one-of-a-kind lenses forged on his kitchen table, this film illuminates its audience with unique natural history insights, and depths of behaviors never recorded before.
