The Bee-Team

David Attenborough narrates the tale of five bee-eater birds, who exist on a diet of bees and wasps and live in one of the most complex bird societies yet discovered.

Bee-eaters are one of the most complex societies yet discovered in birds. David Attenborough narrates the story of a team of five birds that join forces to bring up their chicks. Attacks by snakes and mongooses and a terrible food shortage are predictable, but what the Bee Team don't expect is the devious behaviour of their chicks.
