Love Nature to Launch A Bee’s Diary

A Bee’s Diary, produced by Taglicht Media in association with CBC Canada and WDR Germany for Love Nature, has wrapped production in Germany.

The film is a dramatization of the trials and tribulations of two particular honeybees from birth to death, capturing the often overlooked drama of their little lives. It uses proprietary macro-imaging technology, CGI-based on rigorous science and first-person narration and storytelling, consistently at eye level with the bees, to give audiences an intimate portrait of the species.

Love Nature will begin launching A Bee’s Diary on its international linear and streaming video platforms this fall, followed by premieres on Smithsonian Channel (U.S.) and Sky Nature (U.K.). Blue Ant International oversees licensing for the film in markets outside of Germany and Canada and will debut the title at MIPCOM next month.

Carlyn Staudt, global general manager at Love Nature, said: “Love Nature is always looking for ways we can bring captivating stories and compelling, strong wildlife characters to our audience, creating a meaningful and heartfelt connection between them and the natural world. With Taglicht Media’s innovative technology and filmmaking prowess, A Bee’s Diary unpacks the lived experience and life’s work of these tiny superheroes, a species that has fascinated humans for centuries.”

Dennis Wells, director, producer and writer of A Bee’s Diary, said: “Once you get down to eye-level with the bees, slow down their movements and magnify their anatomy and their environment, you discover a whole new world. A world in which raindrops become lethal bombs, flowering apple trees become the ‘land of plenty’ and bees become personalities. You almost don’t want to leave this place, if it wasn’t for the bee stings!”
