The Bee's Knees: Ireland's Love of Bees from the Celts to Connemara

Bees are vital to life on earth. They have been pollinating our crops, plants and fruit trees for thousands of years. Bees play a key role in so much of the food we eat and they give us honey, one of the world s most natural and healthy foods. And yet, they are under severe threat and their numbers are in decline because of human activity. The Bee s Knees is a fascinating insight into the life of bees and beekeeping in Ireland, including what happens inside the hive, how bees communicate with each other through the waggle dance , how honey has been at the centre of a major international food fraud and the dramatic decline in global bee population. Meet beekeepers from around Ireland who are playing an important role in the preservation of the native Irish honeybee. From the rooftop of one of Dublin s most historic buildings to the rugged Connemara coastline, these beekeepers talk about their experiences. And also, learn what you can do to save one of the most important species in our fragile ecosystem.
