In this episode Chefs A’ Field investigates a looming crisis that could affect a third of the plants we see growing around us‐‐thus having a profound effect on agriculture as well as the economy. In 2006 Americans were introduced to a new term, Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive abruptly disappear. As beekeeper Dave Hackenberg guides our cameras through his hives he states “CCD could be more catastrophic than Global Warming and it is unbelievable that this isn’t on everyone’s radar.” CCD is on Chef David Guas’s “radar.” As one who has put environmental issues on the kitchen’s front burner long before it was trendy, Chef Guas knows how important the little worker bee actually is. “People don’t realize that one out of every three bites we take are due in part to the bees hard work in pollinating crops” says Guas. In a picturesque Pennsylvania apple orchard in full bloom, the chef and beekeeper work together with the bees as the bees buzz from blossom to blossom discussing ways in which these important creatures might be saved.
