The official channel of the France 3 show. C'est pas sorcier, the magazine of discovery and science. In France as everywhere else, bees are disappearing, sometimes dramatically. But without bees, it's not only honey that risks being lacking, but also fruits and vegetables. To try to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of bees, Fred and Jamy went to Vaucluse. Fred went to meet beekeepers and farmers. Jamy, for his part, set up his mini lab at the INRA in Avignon in the middle of the hives intended for research. Fred and Jamy go to harvest honey from a beekeeper and tell us about the fascinating world of bees. We will see that these hymenoptera have no shortage of work. Each of them must fulfill their multiple missions: maintain the hive, feed the larvae, produce wax, make the cells, forage, transport pollen, make honey... Jamy will explain to us what differentiates bees from wasps, hornets and bumblebees, the functions of worker bees, how bees make honey, etc.
