Nature Moments: The Buzz About Bees

Bumblebees have tiny brains but extraordinarily sophisticated behavior. If you follow a bee as it forages for pollen and nectar, you’re likely to find that it specializes on only one type of flower. In this latest Nature Moments video, ecologist Patty Jones explains that bees’ choices are influenced by plant chemicals and the behavior of other bees.

Nature Moments are produced by Nat Wheelwright and Wilder Nicholson, with help from Genie Wheelwright, Paul Benham, Tom Porter, and Rebecca Goldfine.
