Every Third Bite
From Meerkatmedia.org (Vimeo) --
Two years ago, honeybees started to disappear. About one in every three colonies left their hives but never came home. We set out to discover what was plaguing these hives and learned how non-commercial beekeepers care for and keep healthy bees alive. Bees are responsible for pollinating every third bite of food we eat and we are losing millions of bees each year to a mysterious disease known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). After visiting beekeepers in Manhattan, Long Island, Nantucket and Chicago, and interviewed a scientist and elementary school students, we discovered that with proper care and nutrition, bees can stay healthy and their honey can help us stay healthy and allergy free.
