Review

basically the same thing as earth, but about insects instead of larger animals. it’s also not narrated which is nice for a change because it allows you to do a lot of the figuring out just through observation. you see a specially evolved flower that dips it’s pistil onto the back of a bee searching for pollen. then you figure out that in digging for pollen the bee is actuating a mechanism in the flower that moves its pistil which deposits seeds on the bee’s back which it then carries to another flower and pollenates it. it’s a fun little film which isn’t nearly as known as the more recent films of its kind (winged migration, march of the penguins, earth, etc.) .
