Title: The Wonder of Bees ... BBC 4 (Monday evening)
Post by: WillieBee on May 03, 2014, 04:37:52 pm

I have just found out about a programme all about bees, on BBC 4 on Monday, which might interest a few folk here.

Here's a link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01t6nz6 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01t6nz6)

It's the last of the series on Monday, but maybe there are catch up options on the TV / BBC iPlayer

If it's the one I saw the first episode of then it's all about honey bees in hives, nothing to do with our native bumbles which are of far more interest to me  :bee:.  Or does it get to other bees in later episodes?

Is this the programme where a radio 4 news reader/presenter keeps bees and studies them and we see her progress of a year keeping bees?  ;)
