The ancient and vital bond between humans and bees
In short: While their role in global pollination is well known, the deep history of the relationship between humans and bees is a lesser-known story that is perhaps as old as any human connection to another species.
This video explores the long-standing history of beekeeping and the essential role pollinators play in the global environment and human agriculture. It provides context for why bees are vital to ecosystems and why international observances, such as World Bee Day on May 20th, exist to acknowledge their importance.
