On the morning a suburban married couple plans to conceive their first child, the husband faces a crisis of optimism when he discovers that his backyard beehive is suffering from Colony Collapse Disorder (all the bees have mysteriously vanished). Fearing an environmental Armageddon is upon the world, he suggests to his ready-to-make-a-baby-right-now-minded wife that they postpone their plans of parenthood in order to spare their forthcoming child the hardships the future may bring. After a series of humorous exchanges in their bedroom, they come to an agreement that reaffirms their love and commitment to each other while vowing to do everything they can for as long as they can to help protect the environment.
