I just finished watching some of the PBS piece on the dissapearing bee populations around the world. It is very interesting and you should look for it when it re airs, it probably can be viewed on their website if you like watching an hour of footage. There is a really interesting bit on an area in China where the farmers are forced to hand pollinate their own pear orchards in order to have any sort of crop. Pesticides killed off all the bees and any other insect pollinators in the eighties. Its really fascinating. I like the idea of Richards piece being a more intimate and personal local story.
