HOW CAN SLOW SLOW STEPS OF EVOLUTION MAKE SUCH A GLORIOUS BEE LIFE. LIKE THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG, WHICH CAME FIRST, SO THE BEE NEEDED THE FLOWERS AND MANY FLOWERS NEED THE BEE. HOW DID EVOLUTION OF THE FLOWER AND THE BEE TALK TO EACH OTHER, TO PRODUCE AT THE SAME TIME WHAT EACH NEED FROM ONE ANOTHER. IF WE HUMANS CAME FROM SOME CELL IN THE OCEAN, WHERE DID THE CELL FOR FLOWERS COME FROM, AND CELLS FOR APPLE SEEDS AND ALL THE REST OF VEGETATION FOR THAT MATTER. AND HOW DID THE PLANTS LIKE MUSHROOMS DECIDE TO COME FROM "SPORES" AND NOT SEEDS. BACK TO THE BEES. HOW DID THEY FIGURE THEIR DANCE TO TELL OTHER BEES WHERE THAT BEE HAD COME FROM AND HAD DISCOVERED GREAT FLOWERS, SO OTHER BEES COULD FLY THERE. TRULY THE LIFE AND COLONY OF BEES GIVES EVOLUTION A SERIOUS STING, AND ENOUGH STRINGS CAN KILL YOU, AND IT SURE KILLS SLOW-POKE MILLIONS OF YEARS IDEA TO FORM A FULL BEE HIVE AND FLOWERS TO SERVE EACH OTHER. AND IF THEY SURVIVED WITHOUT THE NEED OF EACH OTHER, AS THEY SLOWLY EVOLVED, WHY DID EVOLUTION NOT JUST LEAVE THEM BOTH ALONE, NOT NEEDING EACH OTHER. BUT THEN IF SO, WHY DID THEY EVOLVE IN THE FIRST PLACE TO WHERE THEY DO NEED EACH OTHER.
IT'S ALL EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU PUT A MIGHTY DESIGNER CALLED GOD, IN THE PICTURE---- ALL NATURE AND INSECTS AND ANIMALS MADE JUST A FEW DAYS APART, MADE TO NEED ONE ANOTHER, TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER, IN HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF WAYS, THAT MODERN SCIENCE IS DISCOVERING MORE AND MORE, AS WE DELVE DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE ON EARTH.
A Bee’s Diary
7 weeks, 8,000km, countless adventures ... and 1 gram of honey. The life of a single bee, through her own eyes.
In a beehive, tens of thousands of tiny individuals work toward a common goal: the survival of the colony.
We see a beehive as a collective, even a super-organism. But each one is filled with thousands of small but bold, six-legged individuals. What if we looked at just one? Scientists are learning that each bee in a hive is an individual with its own personality and this diversity allows the collective to respond and adapt quickly to their environment.
A beehive depends on flowers – pollen and nectar are the colony’s source of food. But if the weather changes or if some flowers don’t bloom as early or as generously as the year before, bees need to adapt on the wing. They may need to fly further or even relocate the colony altogether, requiring quick thinking.

Telling a single bee's story in a creative new way
Although the queen is at the centre of any hive, a colony functions more like a democracy than a monarchy, and worker bees have a lot of say. They decide where to forage for food, where to start a new colony, and whether to raise a new queen. They even show the queen where to find a mate.
A Bee’s Diary portrays the life of one bee from birth to death, combining incredible footage with the latest science to capture the beauty of her world, the decisions she makes, and the drama that comes with being a bee.
