what’s killing our bees?

BBC News anchorman and passionate bee enthusiast Bill Turnbull investigates one of the biggest mysteries in the British countryside: what is killing our bees? It is a question that generates huge controversy. Changes in the weather, pesticides and even a deadly virus have all been blamed. It is a question that Bill is all too familiar with as a beekeeper himself. He meets the scientists who are fitting minute radar transponders on to bees to try to find answers.
