The bee-savers (Dutch)
Today 9:00 pm• KRO-NCRV • 19 min
Bees, they are essential for our food supply. But the bee dies out slowly all over the world. A potential disaster for our food production. In the Netherlands the tide is now turned. A unique rescue program run by hundreds of volunteers must save the honeybee worldwide from destruction. The researchers have created a super bee. After years of research, selection and searching for the right genes, they have developed a bee that can withstand its biggest opponent, the Varroa mite. The varroa mite is a parasite that makes the bee sick on a large scale and where up to now there was almost nothing to do. The aim of the operation is to breed the super bee on a large scale, by breeding and breeding. So that the super bee spreads like an oil spill all over Europe and the rest of the world.
