Honeybees, who are essential for agricultural success, are in dire need of new living conditions. Beekeepers lose 40 to 50 percent of their colonies each year, but this is not the case in the wild, where bees exist in healthier, happier conditions. Conservationist Michael Thiele is “re-wilding” honeybees — introducing swarms to habitats more conducive to the instinctive preferences that allow them to thrive.
