Amazingly up-close footage filmed with specially developed lenses brings you the most intimate - and most spectacular - portrayal of a working bee colony ever filmed. It's not frightening - it's fascinating. See things you never imagined. Hear things only bees hear. Discover new-found facts about the strange and complex life of bees. Have you ever seen the high-speed mid-air "wedding flight" of a drone and his queen? Do you know how a bee colony defends itself from honey-loving bears?
