Pretty pop star Suzanna Leigh has a nervous breakdown so goes to the country to recuperate. Instead, she gets caught in the middle of a feud between rival beekeepers. The mystery is obvious and the special effects for the bee-killing scenes consist of nothing more than film of swarming bees superimposed over a barking dog. Robert Bloch must have watched Hitchcock's The Birds and thought he could recreate it with bees, but fails miserably. Speaking of The Birds, a rock group with the same name (not the more famous Byrds) sings a pretty good song towards the beginning. They released an EP and a bunch of singles in the 60s.
