when we think about bees, most think about honey bees. they are native to the united states, and 20,000 bees around the world, different species. we need to think about all bees, all pollinators. we like food. if we eat food and vegetables, you need to think about where they are coming from. bees are a pol jipator, and economic commodity. >> where they have disappeared, tell me about the people that bring bees in. what is that about? >> there are more bees lying on flat bed trucks than permanent places. thing about bees 20, 30 years ago with the grandparent's generation. it's in the backyard or a farm. we have to move the pol jipators around. almonds, blueberries, cranberries, there's nothing left for the bees to feed op when they fall off. feed. >> that sounds like a business opportunity, but you say it's not good either. >> it's not good. different bees pollinate different crops in different ways. there's a reliance on bumblebees. different bees pollinate blueberries, cranberries in different ways. farmers need to understand the crop, t

, worker bees. and why? well, a number of suspects. infectious disease, maybe a virus. maybe the bees don't have the immune system that allows them to resist that. there's even some thought that the genetic -- the genome is so narrow in these bee populations because they interbreed that their t adaptive, they're not flexible for these invasions of infectious disease. >> there was that quote in the story that said, you know, if the bees had died off -- this is albert einstein, humans would follow within four years. is that serious? is that really -- >> well, he -- it's a poetic way of putting a very serious problem. because think of it this way, you know, bees are the champions of the insect pollinators. pollination is what drives the modern ecosystem, and it's really what the basis is for the crops and the food that we depend on. and if you -- bees alone, honeybees alone, account for about $16 billion a year in america in terms of crop production. so you could have -- if this were permanent, if thes

bee—focused cause.autiful forest. this is a healthy forest. you get the smell and the sound of the forest. this is the bug. that tiny little thing there?! yep! it is taking the sap from the pine tree, then creating this liquid — can you see that? and that is what the bee is taking from the pine tree. that tiny, tiny, tiny animal that you have so much difficulty seeing is the magic creator of the whole process. more than half of these essential grubs were wiped out by the fires. if you don't have this insect, you do not have food for bees and you don't have the pine honey. with natural food sources dwindling and many hives destroyed, yonca warns that some honey producers are putting too much pressure on the remaining bees. we encourage their sickness like treating them with chemicals or trying to feed them unnatural sugary stuff so they can produce more than they can. so basically, we are exploiting bees? exactly, it's an abuse. alper kuyucu comes from a long line of bee farmers. to him and his family, b

help be-friend the bees. be right back. >> as we've reported, when it comes to pollinating 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 >> 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 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. and, so, this is buckwheat honey. it comes from washington st

being produced about bees. today we will hear about militarization, to asked those questions of how we might know the bees differently by asking different sorts of questions. the broader project. i did not have to really talk about this. i ultimately, honestly in the beginning did not want to write this book. i kept these my whole life. i love keeping bees. the make a very nice site thing. you do your job and come home and take care of bees in a quiet, tranquil, relaxing situation. the encyclopaedia britannica says there are more books written about bees than any other species other than humans. people have been writing about bees for a long time. i love bees, don't get me wrong. i love the sound of the swarm. i love the smell of the hive when it is opened on a warm day. i love the perverse pleasure, after you have been stung enough the vitamin doesn't affect you -- the venom doesn't affect you. i also felt that my inches of other things, were more important than the quotidian beekeeping stuff that was going on

you are a bee whisperer. he uses traditional methods to look after his 10 million bees.ook at that. his way is simple, he believes the bees should be left to do it naturally, collecting nectar from the wild and return it to the hive to make honey. this is not the optimum production method. intensively farmed bees just come out of the hives and drink sugar water and then go back in to produce what he calls false honey. the do not travel around the ecosystem as they should, pollinating plants, including ourfruit and vegetables. he said they get unhealthy and die sooner. this is a pot of honey naturally produced and it really does taste delicious. it is interesting how we are all familiar with battery farming and exploiting chickens for eggs and meat but how many of us have thought about the exploitation of bees with intense beekeeping and the damage that is doing. it seems to me the extreme conservation for bees is to go back to basics, back to this traditional way of beekeeping. the recovery of the pine forests is crucial and until then these bees have limited resources t

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 toen 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

and other wild bees. less nectar means less nourishment for their own offspring let alone new queen bees. charkha things clearing the green strips as harmful as using chemical pesticides. until recently most people probably didn't even realize that the mortality doesn't only affect honeybees but about five hundred sixty species of while the bee which are really the crucial group they are simply dying out and that's leading to disaster and it turns out that the wild bees are especially important because they are much more effective pollinators than honey bee and this being. a new feature child is a ph d. student. she wants to prove that wild beasts are of much greater importance for fruit and vegetable production that has previously been assumed she compares the flowers of beans and tomatoes pollinated under different conditions and with and without using bumble bees. in many greenhouses tomatoes have long since been manually pollinated. yeah here we've put some of the tomato blossoms into bags to test how
