Nature Inc. goes to the almond groves of California where we find a mysterious crash in the bee population, which threatens the $15 billion agri-industry in the United States.

Then, Nature, Inc. speaks to producers and scientists about how they—and the bees—are coping. Next, it's off to Ghana to report on the vital role that persecuted fruit bats play in the multi-billion dollar chocolate and cosmetics industry.

Nature Inc.: about the show.
