When you’re done watching “The War” on PBS, mark your viewing calender for Oct. 28 and the season premiere of PBS’ Nature. That show will focus on the worldwide die-off of honeybees.
This is the first in-depth documentary to cover this breaking story of ecological crisis,� says Fred Kaufman, executive producer of NATURE. “People may be stunned to discover just how dire the consequences of honeybee colony collapse could be.�
More from PBS:
Honeybees are responsible for one of every three bites of food we eat. Each year, they pollinate $14 billion worth of crops and seeds in the U.S. alone. Their total decimation would be catastrophic from the local to the global level – failed businesses, skyrocketing food prices, unsustainable labor costs, and depleted supplies of fruits, nuts, vegetables, plants, and more.”
