Nature: Silence of the Bees DVD NEW

Product DescriptionThe award-winning Nature series is the longest-running weekly natural history series on television. Winner of the Peabody Award. Rating: TV-G (on both episodes). Two great programs from PBS Nature on one disc! Program 1 - Silence of the Bees explores one of natures most baffling mysteries: the disappearance of the honeybee. Beginning in the winter of 2006, millions of bees vanished from their hives without a trace. The disappearing bees left billions of dollars of crops at risk and threatened our food supply. Join researchers as they scramble to discover why honeybees are dying in record numbers, and to stop the epidemic in its tracks before it spreads further. Program 2 - Parrots in the Land of Oz introduces the brightest cast of characters in the Australia story! From the outrageous drumming palm cockatoo in the tropical rainforests, to the shameless red female eclectus parrot of the far north that keeps a harem of males, these true Australian originals are as resourceful as they are rowdy. Extra Feature: Why bees are important.ReviewThe Greatest Nature Cinematography on Earth... --The New York Times
