Have you ever wondered how bees carry pollen back to a hive? Or how their wings work together to enable them to fly? We need to take a closer look to explore these and other aspects of the fascinating lives of these amazing insects! See them live, and close enough to make out the honey baskets on their legs and the cones that enable their two wings to beat together.
Dr Barry Meatyard, biologist and beekeeper, introduces the miniature world of bees with his microscopes and cameras.
