zeke knows a lot about bees. his company, bee raw honey, works with beekeepers all across the country. >> but, you know, the reality is is that bees pollinate over 100 strawberries, broccoli, apples, melons, pumpkins -- i mean, really basic fruits and vegetables that we eat every day. >> that's why what's happening in the bee world is causing alarm in the human world. bees are dying in droves and disappearing from hives. it's called "colony collapse disorder," or ccd. >> colony collapse disorder has affected over 10 million hives -- in fact, killed 10 million hives over the past six years. >> no one knows why this is happening. there are many theories. it could be a virus, or tiny insects called mites that attack the bees. or the problem may be man-made. >> we have pesticides that are put on everything, you know, from fruits and vegetables, bes, corn, soy. and bees fly around, and they collect pollen and nectar from these plants. and those pesticides, you know, either kill them or system of the bees, so they get

fruits and vegetables, bees are the "a"-team. without them, we'd have a lot fewer foods to eat. bees also give us honey, which many say can be a healthier alternative to processed sugar. >> we have to remember that it's still a sugar, so we don't want to go crazy with it. >> since honey is sweeter than sugar, you can use less of it. and if you think all honey tastes the same, you're in for a surprise. zeke explains that honey can be varietal. that means there's different varieties, depending on where the bees gather the nectar. >> single varietal honeys are honeys that come from a specific floral source, whether it be wild raspberries or wild blueberries, buckwheat, wild sage, orange blossoms. and honey from that floral source gives it a particular color, a particular texture, and a very particular flavor. so, you have a honey from new york, from an aster flower, and you'll see that it's very clear and amber-colored. honey. it comes from washington state. and you'll find it has much more grainy consistency as it crystallizes and

and not just a few bees, but thousands of bees. >> i never knew that there could be this many bees in one place. 80,000 bees -- that's a lot of bees. >> it is, but our country needs a lot more. in recent years, bees have been dying by the millions. scientists call it "ccd" -- colony collapse disorder. so all over america, people are helping honey bees build hives to survive. >> that's a good one. >> oh, yeah, that's a good one. that's the best one, i think, today. >> that is. >> yeah. >> bees are important. one-third of all our crops depends on bees. without their pollination, we'll have a lot fewer fruits, vegetables, and flowers. that's why these student beekeepers are working hard to ensure their bees thrive. >> when i come up here, i usually refresh the water, and i'll open up one hive that hasn't been looked at in maybe like three days and just check it out and see if everything's going well. >> the students also pay particular attention to the honeycombs. these hexagonal structures are where bees store their honey. >> in the winter time, they save up their honey so they don't ha

he hopes the bee will "foster a life long passion for learning about other cultures." here's how it works. the competition starts in schools. students compete against their classmates, and the winner then advances to the statewide competition. one winner from each state gets a ticket to washington, d.c., to compete at a national level. in all, four million students participated in the bee this year. >> i got interested in geography because i've traveled to many places around the world, like france, germany, singapore, australia. >> that's aadith moorthy, a grand champion. he says it wasn't easy to get to the top. >> well, there was a lot of hard work. i prepared 20 facts a day for 4 months, and i studied those facts. i learned that there are a lot of things in geography that i don't know. >> so, he developed a system for remembering some of the hardest facts. >> i think the most challenging thing is learning place names and how to pronounce them. you should break up the words into different pieces and then learn them by pieces. divide and conquer. >> in the beginning o

in some regions, bees have completely died out.he film has shocked many beekeepers. >> the pictures were absolutely harrowing. we just cannot do that to animals. it should be illegal. at least these things are being made public and people can see what is going on. >> the film shows that the problem may be quiet, but also quite serious. >> the wife of the north korean leader vanished from public view two months ago, and there were a lot of rumors about what had happened. >> now she is back, seen at a concert with her husband on monday. spectators gave the couple a big round of applause when they arrived at the theater. there had been rumors that she was pregnant or even that she had been purged. >> good that she is all right. >> absolutely. who knows what happened? anyway, thanks for watching, and do not forget you can check out more detailed information on our website, dw.de. >> we will see you again soon. do not go away. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org--

its official name is the "starr bumble bee."s because it was built by a pilot named bob starr. i would have trouble fitting in there. how dhe fit in there? >> bob was a really sort of slightly built guy, right, so he sort of squirmed himself in. >> the little plane only carried 2 1/2 gallons of gas, so the flight of the bumble bee was very, very short. i'm just surprised it made it off the ground. >> yeah. well, you know, one of the reasons he kind of named it bumble bee is, you know, there's the old myth that, you know, if bumble bees knew anything about physics, they wouldn't be able to fly, right? so, that's kind of where he took the theme from. >> up there is a concept that really needed to "bee" aware of the physics of flying. that looks like a one-man flying machine. >> it is. it's a one-man hoppi-copter. it was meant to drop soldiers into battle with their own personal helicopter. interesting idea but terrible application. all it did was break legs, and it was abandoned really quickly. >> oh, no! so, it didn't work? >> di
