No more buzzing, no more honey, no more bees – so then what? In this episode of Life Without, Alan Davies looks at how dependent we are on the existence of our busy little friends.

This episode features Simon Potts ecologist and Professor of Biodiversity at Reading University and Alison Benjamin co-founder of Urban Bees and author of A World Without Bees.
