Hornisse
Aussehen, Verbreitung, Lebensweise
Der Film erklärt anschaulich die Lebensweise und den Nestbau der Hornissen und zeigt, wie wichtig sie für das ökologische Gleichgewicht sind. Mit beeindruckenden Nahaufnahmen wird das Verhalten der Hornissen im Jahresverlauf dokumentiert – von der Königinnen-Gründung bis zur Auflösung des Volkes im Herbst. Zudem räumt der Film mit Vorurteilen auf und vermittelt, warum Hornissen trotz ihres schlechten Rufs friedliche und geschützte Tiere sind.

Bees, Bumblebees and Wasps
Our smallest domestic animals, the honey bees, belong to the insect order of hymenoptera just like bumblebees, wasps and ants. Many of these insects live in huge colonies with division of labour and a caste system. However, there also are less conspicuous small hymenoptera like, for instance, the mason- bee, which on its own builds complex nests for its offspring and supplies it with food. We haven’t even noticed that it has followed us into our human settlements and we don’t consider that we are taking away the habitats from these small interesting insects. This film pays attention to all these important plant pollinators, allows insights into the work of bees and wasps and shows how we can observe and protect them.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
