Series Bees in a Pod with Rob Beckett

Pollination and some dodgy flower names

Let It Grow

Available for over a year

David Attenborough is saving the planet, Brian May is saving badgers, now comedian Rob Beckett is saving the bees. With help from some comedy friends and proper bee experts. This week Rob chats to comedian Ahir Shah and the RHS's Helen Bostock about the vital role bees play in pollination, and what we'd be eating if we didn't have them... He learns what flowers are good for bees (and which ones have seriously dodgy names). And bee of the week is a lovely little pollinator called the red mason bee. Series Producer Jo Newsholme.
