Many of you are probably familiar with NowThis News. Well, I’ve just learned that they have a series of videos entitled Apocolypse NowThis which examines various ways that we all could die and/or the Earth could cease to exist. So you know, interesting yet incredibly frightening. 

This episode looks at how important bees are to the functioning of our ecosystem, and it features U of I entomology professors Dr. Alexandra Harmon-Threatt and Dr. May Berenbaum.
