Honeybees have thrived for 50 million years. Each colony of 40 to 50,000 individuals is coordinated in the amazing harmony of a single throbbing organism, pollinating a third of our food!

Rachel Carson’s ‘fruitless fall’ became a reality in 2007, when American beekeepers watched thirty billion bees die mysteriously. And they continue to decline all over the world, and in India. What could be the reasons for this decline?

Join us on World Bee Day for a conversation with Dr. Axel Brockmann, of the Honey Bee Lab at NCBS and environmental filmmaker, Rajani Mani from Elephant Corridor Films, to find out about the intriguing world of India's native honeybees, the threats they face, and what we can do to sustain them. Honeybees have thrived for 50 million years. Each colony of 40 to 50,000 individuals is coordinated in the amazing harmony of a single throbbing organism, pollinating a third of our food!
