If only one bee was to cover the distance flown to make a 180 litre drum of honey, it would orbit Earth almost two thousand times.

There are some 25,000 bee species that pollinate most of the world’s crops but it’s the honey bee that we use on an industrial scale.

Around the world honey bees are being wiped out by disease. Freighting honey bees from crop to crop, then crop produce from country to country, has helped to spread bee diseases internationally. If honey bees are in trouble, so are we: we rely on them for to pollinate our crops; they rely on us for survival.

Earth Report travels to New Zealand to reveal the plight of the humble bee.
