The world looks different when seen from the 'bees-eye view.'
The new National Geographic documentary series, Secrets of the Bees, offers viewers a look into the hidden world of bees, revealing the intricate details and social structure of a honeybee hive.
Backed by Academy Award-winning director James Cameron, the docuseries is hosted by award-winning wildlife filmmaker and explorer Bertie Gregory.
James Cameron spoke about the show with entomologist and fellow National Geographic explorer Dr Samuel Ramsey, saying, 'Bees, I don't profess to know a lot about, but I've certainly had a lot of amazing facts revealed... the gender difference in honeybees and a lot of bee species, in terms of the size of the eyes.'
The director wonders if a 'bee culture' exists, saying, 'There's so much that I didn't know about a bee society, and learning about bee culture as well, meaning that which is passed in direct communication between individual bees.'
He concludes, 'That's just one example. I mean, there are certainly many examples that I've learned as a result of being, you know, a producer on the series.'
