Nature Inc. goes to the almond groves of California where we find that the mysterious crash in the bee population threatens the $15 billion agri-industry in the USA and talk to producers and scientists about how they – and the bees – are coping. Then it’s off to Ghana where we report on the vital role that persecuted fruit bats play in the multi-billion dollar chocolate and cosmetics industry.
