In the new black comedy thriller from director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite), now in theaters, amateur beekeeper Teddy Gatz (Jesse Plemons) is convinced his honey bee hives are falling victim to Colony Collapse Disorder—a phenomenon in which worker bees mysteriously disappear, leaving the queen behind and the colony doomed—as a result of chemicals manufactured by Auxolith, the megacorporation run by high-powered CEO Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone). Teddy also works for Auxolith as a low-level warehouse employee and has a dark history with the company, which, years prior, put his mother Sandy (Alicia Silverstone) on an experimental drug treatment for opioid withdrawal that left her in a persistent vegetative state. This sent Teddy down a rabbit hole of Internet conspiracy theories that ultimately led to him latching onto the idea that Michelle is an alien-in-disguise from the Andromeda galaxy who was sent to Earth as part of a plot to wipe out humanity. One phase of the Andromedans' plan, according to Teddy? Kill off all the bees.
