The Bee Dilemma - Profit or Species Protection?
Season 25 Episode 9 of 35
A few years ago, everyone was talking about declining bee populations, but today beekeeping is booming. In Swiss cities, there are now too many farmed bees - a problem for biodiversity. Conservationists are calling for the regulation of urban beekeeping. They see honeybees as agricultural animals that are bred for their yields and kept in beehive densities that are far too high. Beekeepers in Zurich who are campaigning for the preservation of the European dark bee believe the solution is to allow native bees to return to the wild in Zurich's forests
