Description:
Spend a year in this hive and experience life as a bee.
Amazingly up-close footage filmed with specially developed macro lenses brings you the most intimate- and most spectacular- portrayal of a working bee colony ever filmed. It’s not frightening- it’s fascinating. See things you never imagined. Hear things only bees hear. Discover new found facts about the strange and complex life of bees.
Did you know it takes nectar from 10 million flowers to create a single liter of honey? No wonder they’re called worker bees! Tales from the Hive exposes a bee colony’s secret world- detailing such rarely seen events as the life-or-death battle between a pair of rival queens, a bee eater's attack on the hive, a scout bee’s mysterious dance that shares special 'nectar directions' with the rest of the hive. Also, watch the high-speed mid-air 'wedding flight' of drone and queen. See the colony’s defense against a honey-loving bear.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great info for the novice beekeeper.
Gives the new beekeeper valuable insight to the life-cycle of the honeybee. Interesting enough for even those not keeping bees. The whole family will enjoy the documentary. Great video for a science or biology class.
Rating:  - Amazing look at life inside the hive
I purchased this DVD hoping to use it with young children. It really is too complex and perhaps a little violent for the group of children (4-5 yr) that I had in mind. However, I found this DVD fascinating and have recommended it to all of my friends who have gardens, or just love nature and critters. Amazing video of bees being bees. My husband even watched it with me! I will watch this one again!
Rating: - BEES
An excellent film, defying belief as they mount cameras on the backs of honeybees and follow them into the hive.
