Photography Belinda Ollis-Blackwell

BBC Two’s two-part documentary on the extraordinary honeybee unearths a myriad of facts about bees. Hive Alive is presented by naturalist and Springwatch presenter Chris Packham and bee-keeping enthusiast Martha Kearney from Somerset.

You will agree - bees are creative when you see how they make honeycomb!
