As a beekeeper, this was the best documentary I've seen on bees/pollinators! Finally something that looks at all the pieces of the puzzle, and what we can do to fix it!

Tremendous work! As an Arborist & Beekeeper in Scotland We congratulate and thank you for your work producing this!

You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed it. Feel free to spread the word!

I noticed a very large difference in the numbers of bugs and bees and birds in the Ozarks area of Missouri about 35-40 years ago when we were trying to control flies on our cattle with a fly block that was consumed by the cattle to kill the flies in the manure. I have always suspected that this was causing a problem for the other insects in the pasture as well as the fescue monoculture that became the most prevalent pasture. The small place I have now has some native grasses and I am trying to keep them alive and increasing. I’m amazed how much moisture they hold in the soil especially in the dry summers when they have not had any rainfall for months. The loss of our native prairie is a tragedy for their ecosystem was extremely well adapted to drought conditions and had a huge impact on hundreds of species that lived in them. Starting to see things coming full circle and people are starting to realize how much we have lost and how important it is for our survival as a species. The circle of life that our First Nations ancestors lived is the only sustainable way. Every single thing has its own purpose in the world and we need to recognize the importance for our future generations.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments.

Wow finally a look at the facts , combination of issues gets to the cause of many things we just take for granted ,this shows us all if we are prepared to look how fragile current food production is ,and what future generations will face in the future , tomorrow and days after if we not identify solutions ,WATER management ,soil management , living soils are soils with eco systems which use the soil just like the grains we grow on them however they add value to the soil .Water is getting less in the US .😮

Thank you for your part for and to a better future.

Great documentary hello from UK Well done great job 👏👏🐝🐝🐝

What insight we need to change ...........

We must teach the young of our species of course I mean our children and grandchildren what is on this video it’s 2024 and the world has lost half of the V varieties on earth we must not let this continue teach our children these are the lessons of life thank you

@1:00:00 this guy is right, it starts with the soil. There’s still hope if people are willing to allow it. ❤😊

Should stop using pesticides and grow native wild flowers with the trees.

Just started with the film but asking myself, if the bees are crucial for the crops like almond, why not refuse to pollinate and start protesting against pesticide usage...? All beekeepers united. This will force industry and government to change, right?

Exactly, or make the orchardist liable for the loses. When it starts hurting these people in the pocket things will change. At present the Beekeepers are the only ones who get hit financially for other people's carelessness.

Great video!

Monsanto needs to be held accountable.

Im sure if the migratory beekeepers for one season would get together and refuse to pollinate the orchards, until they changed their applications that would be enough loss of revenue for the orchards to change their ways

@@thomasyoder4537 I get what you are saying, ag farmers wouldn't be phased too much, but the almond orchards would feel it and those are the farmers I am talking about thats where the migratory beekeepers go for the most part, when you get thousands of colonies in such close quarters that's where problems arise, yes up north here keepers bring there bees to canola fields, but in general it's possibly 30-60 colonies per 160acres

Hi Mrs. Jowers.

TL;DR: Permaculture (Indigenous farming techniques) and consuming more/primarily plant based foods is the solution to our agriculture problem.

The monocultural pollen supply the bees are forced into by their owner making them migrate from monoculture to monoculture is quite stressful for the honeybees. Bees should always have a variety of natural pollen and nectar supply to choose from...

And for the record I am actually a beekeeper.

The guy with the dragonfly shirt must be a Pink Floyd fan ..listen to him and see if you can guess the song

these mega monoculture orchards are terrible for the local environment since they require the pesticides to protect one crop. If they planted a polyculture of different trees and other flowering plants and if every orchard had their own honeybees it would be much better for the environment.

In this area the commercial pollinator bee keeper filled our bees with American Foul Brood for 20 years then retired . Sold his equipment all over the prairies .

It was so cool seeing your wife on there with you Jimmy 😂

Always funny listening to non farmers with no idea compared to the actual farmers with vast experience.

No till and most current organic practices are on the way out for being so bad for the soil and bad for you, and telling lies in marketing.

So, what about introducing honey bees into the US? Why not use native bees..foreign bees wipe them out. And native bees are not so affected by amora mites.

The core of the issue is the capitalist ideological addiction of success with monetary greed and wealth. Capitalism knows how to make money, not natural sustainability or quality.

Actually, it is all the people (consumers) who buy the fruits produced by greedy producers. If people stop buying the products whether shipped in or grown here. But consumers are greedier than the producers. And, the dirty circle goes round and round and never stops til it is all gone and there is nothing left for the children!

China is the most state controlled economy in the world and has worse Bee problems than any other country. They literally need to pollinate crops by hand in some regions of china because they have no bees there.
