Plot

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, but 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.
