A Honeybee Evening Out
PeTA Movie Screening of "More Then Honey"
More Than Honey: A Powerful Look at the Life of the Honeybee
Last night, 3rd Rock Essentials Director Michelle Carter joined PETA for a special screening of More Than Honey, a visually stunning and emotionally moving documentary about the growing plight of the honeybee. The evening brought together animal advocates, nature lovers, and members of the vegan community for an unforgettable experience centered around one of the world’s most important pollinators.
The documentary More Than Honey offers a breathtaking look into the life of the honeybee, revealing not only the science behind bee colonies, but also the emotional and environmental challenges these tiny creatures face every day. Through remarkable cinematography and intimate storytelling, viewers are taken inside the hive and given a rare perspective on the life of the honeybee.
For many attendees, the film transformed the way they think about bees.
“The documentary was amazing,” said Michelle Carter. “For the first time, I felt an immense emotional connection to the actual bee. The eyes through which this movie was filmed gave a raw, emotional, and humanistic approach to the individual bee, the colony as a whole, and the plights they face. Family, history, and science blended beautifully into More Than Honey. A must-see!”
The decline of the honeybee population has become a growing concern around the world. Honeybees play a critical role in pollinating crops and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Without the honeybee, many fruits, vegetables, nuts, and flowering plants would struggle to survive. Experts continue to warn about colony collapse disorder, pesticide exposure, habitat destruction, and climate change, all of which threaten honeybee populations globally.
What makes More Than Honey especially impactful is its ability to connect viewers emotionally to the honeybee while also educating them about the serious environmental consequences of bee decline. Rather than presenting bees simply as insects, the film portrays the honeybee as a vital part of nature’s delicate balance.
The event itself reflected the evening’s message of compassion and sustainability. Guests enjoyed a delicious vegan dinner prepared by My Vegan Sweet Tooth, with 25 percent of food proceeds benefiting PETA’s efforts to fight animal cruelty and support ethical living. The menu featured flavorful plant-based dishes and desserts that delighted attendees while reinforcing the importance of conscious choices that support both animals and the environment.
Adding to the fun, bee-themed raffle baskets were awarded throughout the evening, creating a festive atmosphere while raising awareness about the importance of protecting the honeybee and supporting organizations dedicated to animal welfare.
PETA continues to advocate for animal rights and environmental awareness through educational outreach, events, and partnerships. Supporting organizations like PETA helps amplify conversations around sustainability, compassion, and the interconnectedness of all living creatures — including the honeybee.
For those inspired by the evening’s message, there are many simple ways to help protect honeybees in everyday life. Planting bee-friendly flowers, avoiding harmful pesticides, supporting local organic farms, and choosing sustainable products can all make a meaningful difference. Even small actions can help create safer environments for the honeybee and other essential pollinators.

As awareness surrounding the honeybee crisis continues to grow, documentaries like More Than Honey play an important role in educating the public and inspiring action. The film reminds us that the survival of the honeybee is deeply connected to our own well-being, food systems, and environment.
The evening served as both an entertaining event and an important wake-up call. Attendees left not only inspired by the beauty and intelligence of the honeybee, but also motivated to make more mindful choices that support sustainability and compassion.
