Who Killed the Honey Bee
Nature, Science Documentary hosted by Martha
Kearney and published by BBC in 2009 - English
narration
Information
------------------------------
Bees are dying in their millions. It is an
ecological crisis that threatens to bring global
agriculture to a standstill. Introduced by Martha
Kearney, this documentary explores the reasons
behind the decline of bee colonies across the
globe, investigating what might be at the root of
this devastation.
Honey bees are the number one insect pollinator on
the planet, responsible for the production of over
90 crops. Apples, berries, cucumbers, nuts,
cabbages and even cotton will struggle to be
produced if bee colonies continue to decline at
the current rate. Empty hives have been reported
from as far a field as Taipei and Tennessee. In
England, the matter has caused beekeepers to march
on parliament to call on the government to fund
research into what they say is potentially a
bigger threat to humanity than the current
financial crisis.
Investigating the problem from a global
perspective, the programme makers travel from the
farm belt of California to the flatlands of East
Anglia to the outback of Australia. They talk to
the beekeepers whose livelihoods are threatened by
colony collapse disorder, the scientists entrusted
with solving the problem, and the Australian
beekeepers that are making a fortune replacing the
planet's dying bees. They also look at some of the
possible reasons for the declining numbers - is it
down to a bee plague, pesticides, malnutrition, or
is the answer something even more frightening?
