THE BOYS AND THE BEES hums, buzzes, and throbs within a terrain in flux. Landscapes shift, boys grow, bees are tended, mistakes are made, animals die, and new life comes to nest.

The film’s scope is intimate—a boy finds the courage to tend a beehive. And it is expansive—a family turns their love of nature into a practice of care, shaping both their children and the land they steward.
