National Geographic Explorer Bertie Gregory explores the extraordinary lives of bees — among the planet’s most important animals. Over three years, special cameras opened a rare window into a single hive, revealing their hidden world. With more than 20,000 bee species pollinating one-third of the world’s food, this series uncovers their astonishing architecture and intelligence, unlocking their secrets.

Bonus Content: Ahead of our March 2026 world premiere screening of Secrets of the Bees, DCEFF Advisory Council member Maggie Dewane sat down with Nat Geo Explorer Bertie Gregory and filmmaker Nadège Laici. Watch that here.
