‘Colonies in conflict’, directed by Rajani Mani, follows migratory giant Asian honey bees to reveal how human action is driving bee decline.

When documentary filmmaker Rajani Mani moved into a high-rise apartment in Bengaluru in 2015, the massive beehives on the balconies and ledges of the top floors caught her eye. She was concerned, however, about the use of fire, smoke and pesticides to remove the hives which could endanger the bees. Her efforts to learn more about these winged insects and share information with neighbours gave her the impetus to film a feature-length documentary, ‘Colonies in conflict’, which explores the state of wild bees in India’s rapidly expanding urban ecosystems.  

“The bees are vanishing, while we don't know what is happening to them, what's even more shocking is how little is known about wild bee species in India — a country that has over 300 endemic species of bees,” says Rajani, co-founder of Elephant Corridor Films. The world has over 20,000 bee species. ‘Colonies in conflict’ follows the migratory giant Asian honey bees or the Apis dorsata, native to South Asia. The film is also Rajani’s personal journey, starting from her neighbourhood. She began filming in October 2019 but in March 2020, when the pandemic hit, Rajani hit the pause button to reflect on narratives she could employ in the film. She restarted work in December 2020 and filmed till the end of March 2021.
