Didactic DVD "The World of Wild Bees and Honey Bees", playable on tablet

Bees have lived on our planet for around 120 million years. Our most familiar domesticated honey bee (apis mellifera) is only one of more than 20,000 bee species on our planet. Most bee species are wild bees that are less familiar e.g. the rust red mason bee (osmia bicornis). But wild bees play a far greater role in terms of biodiversity than the honey bee. The film explains how wild bees and honey bees live, describing the bees´ physical attributes, life cycle and the vital role bees play in our ecosystem.
