Die Bienen — Tödliche Bedrohung (English title: Killer Bees) is a 2008 German television horror film directed by Michael Karen and stars Janin Reinhardt, Rolf Kanies and Sonja Kirchberger.
When Karla brings her father Hans in Mallorca to a clinic because he was stung by a bee, it does not look good for him. The doctors want to find just a normal bee sting, what Karla does not consider it feasible. Together with the researcher Ben she gets down to find the true culprit — and finds oversized bees, which are also extremely aggressive. This new insect species is a major threat to thousands of people on the holiday island.
The film was shot in only 23 Days in Mallorca.
The film aired on 16 October 2008 as Television film on Sat 1. In France was released on 1 October 2009 as direct-to-DVD project as L'Île des abeilles tueuses. Killer Bees is set for an US DVD release in June 2010 over Maverick Entertainment.
The score was composed by the Bavarian film composer .
