In a new National Geographic docuseries, viewers get a look inside a bee hive. The series is called <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/show/99802a2f-9b71-40fe-b3e0-39042897fa26"target="_blank" >Secrets of the Bees</a> — and since there’s nobody we know who loves bees more than entomologist <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/biofrontiers/samuel-ramsey"target="_blank" >Sammy Ramsey</a>, we brought him on the show to share some of these secrets. We cover how bees play together (yes, play!), their ability to fend off predators four-times their size and a mite wreaking havoc on honeybees everywhere.  If you liked this episode check out past episodes on liquid gold (a.k.a <a href="https://lnk.to/IhO5gK"target="_blank" >honey</a>), and <a href="https://lnk.to/Jalfwx"target="_blank" >honeybees</a>.  Email us your questions about insects, critters – or anything else to do with science at <a href="mailto:shortwave@npr.org"target="_blank" >shortwave@npr.org</a>.
