“Boris Karloff stars as Mr. Mycroft, probably a retired Sherlock Holmes, who was managing a honey farm in Sussex. The play was based on H. F. Heard's A Taste For Honey. Mr Mycroft is only suspected of being Holmes and is never directly referred to as such. In a remote village, [he] uses his own bees against a revengeful farmer who has trained his bees to be killers.” — Gordon E. Kelley on “The Sting of Death” (The Elgin Hour, ABC, Feb. 22, 1955), Sherlock Holmes Screen and Sound Guide.
