About 33 percent of our food depends on the work of bees and other pollinators. To see how important their work is, Michal Bachowski decided for a week to eat only products that we do not owe to these beneficial insects.

If you are curious how this experiment went, learn more from Noizz (available in Polish only).

To better understand how vital bees are in the Earth's ecosystem, we also recommend you watch More Than Honey, available on VOD.MDAG.PL. Traveling with a camera around the world: from Europe to the USA, Australia and China, the director films the areas where bees live, and with the help of microscopic images shows how they live and behave in their nests and hives. In the film, we meet beekeepers, scientists and farmers, wrapped up in their passion for bees and eager to learn the secret of their mass death. Despite years of research, the exact reason for this phenomenon is unknown and subject to speculation. Perhaps it is the result of environmental pollution, pesticide use, antibiotics, malnutrition, bacterial and parasitic diseases, bee overwork, or all of the above.

MORE THAN HONEY, DIR. MARKUS IMHOOF

LIVE is a new, permanent section of VOD.MDAG.PL, in which we present the most interesting news-related materials from the Polish media and recommend films from our catalog that further discuss a particular problem.
