Industrial Action (Honeybees)

Synopsis

About the honey bee. Looks at the world of the workers inside the hive and into the cells of the honeycomb to observe the everyday life of a busy bee-city. The drones are waited on until they have completed their one task in life, then the workers turn them out. Rival queens split the community, and mass emigration is the result, but the workers unite against a common foe as autumn approaches and the wasps begin to attack.
