Bugs, Bees and Bad Decisions

Mr. Bee is drunk, depressed and feeling destructive. His species are under pressure from pesticides and intensive agriculture. So, to cheer him up, Mother Nature agrees to dedicate the episode to insects, and sends an assistant to England to speak with insect enthusiast and scientist David Goulson. However, Mother Nature soon discovers that one bee – the domesticated honey bee – is actually thriving. Meanwhile, Maya Tekeli calls with an update on the search for Leonardo DiCaprio.
