Radiolab | The Crystal Ball: Giant Honeybees Who Predict the Future | Terrestrials | Radiolab for Kids Podcast @Radiolabpod | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
The honey bee. The ever-important pollinator for our plants is disappearing. Some call it the silence of the bees, others call it colony collapse disorder. Dr. Sammy Ramsey, our official bug correspondent, wondered, could it be due to parasites? And if so, how do we catch all of them?
This question takes Dr. Sammy to the heart of a jungle in Bangladesh to look for overlooked honey bees impervious to parasites. The only problem? He can't find them. With help from a local guide named Babulall, he learns how the most overlooked bees could possibly save all the honey bees in the world. Plus, they have some killer dance moves.
Big special thanks this episode to Babulall Munda and Rubaiyat Mansur Mowgli, both of whom, by the way, will be credited on any scientific papers that come out of the work they did with Dr. Sammy in Bangladesh.

🌎 Radiolab for Kids features episodes about nature. Sometimes these will be brand new Terrestrials episodes full of songs and silliness, sometimes they will be our very best, shiniest, furriest, family-friendliest Radiolab episodes about animals or plants or nature. You’ll always get a little hello from host Lulu Miller, and we hope that this feed will feel like a nature walk, a place you can show up and explore and always encounter something unexpected out there in the wilderness. You don’t have to be a kid to listen, just someone who likes to see the world anew.
