Bees, Bumblebees and Wasps
Observation and Protection
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.

Copyright
Copyright is subject to constant change to keep up with technological advances. This film enables the viewer to grasp the basic principles of this extremely intricate matter. By way of introduction, the film defines what an author is, what kinds of works there are and how long a work is protected on principle. Then the fundamental rights of an author are cited and it is shown how these are exploited in our times. In the third chapter, the respective rights are illustrated by way of practice-oriented examples of books, photos, music and films. Here, of course, an emphasis is laid on the field of education, taking into account the latest case law within the EU and Austria in particular. A further chapter highlights the problems arising with the Internet and goes into the citation law and pirate copies. All in all, in this way the viewer is made familiar with the most important basic terms and their meanings. Comprehensive worksheets and additional accompanying material invite us to deepen our knowledge of the subject.
