Economics at the Movies - The Vanishing Bees
Geoff Riley
27th October 2010
This documentary focuses on the economic and social consequences of the dramatic decline in the size of the global bee population. The trailer is a useful starter for discussion on the role that pollination plays in providing so much of what we eventually consume and for students to appreciate the feedback effects in the long run if the bees vanish for good.
