Details

On Sarah's East Anglian farm the honeybees are dropping like flies - just like her love life. Her husband bolted twenty years ago and she hasn't slept with anyone since. Her middle-aged daughter Gail's marriage is going up in smoke just like her turkey farm and neighbour Earl is fighting a losing battle with his sugar beet yield and his 'no strings' relationships. As the consequences of that momentous night unfold Sarah, Gail, Earl and Ben discover the best way out of a crisis is to commit to those closest to you - just watch out and don't get stung. The Birds and The Bees is an hilarious comedy romp with a heart as big as the laughs it brings. Indeed, it's the bees' knees!
