Buddha, Bees and the Giant Hornet Queen


Buddha, Bees and the Giant Hornet Queen (BBC Natural World)
There's no fiercer looking or more dangerous insect than the giant Japanese hornet. The film follows the life of a giant hornet queen as she emerges from hibernation and starts to build her colony in an old temple garden. At first she is vulnerable, fighting bad weather as she painstakingly constructs her paper nest. But as workers hatch, her empire gains strength and desperate for food the hornets start to search for their favorite meal – honeybee grubs.

A beekeeper monk witnesses the rising power of the giant hornet colony, and despite the hornets' attacks on his own bees he reveals a deep respect for these incredible predators.

FYI: Frame Rate seems to be a little fast on this, so if your using VLC player slow the playback a bit.

Silent Roar: Searching for the Snow Leopard



This Documentary isn't really Buddhist, but some people have expressed an interest in seeing some Nature programs. So I figured this would be a good compromise. Also the book by Peter Matthiessen is with out doubt my favorite of all time. Enjoy!

Only a privileged few have ever seen a snow leopard, the powerful and mysterious predator of the Himalayas. Acclaimed natural history filmmakers Hugh Miles and Mitchell Kelly defy death while pursuing this legendary big cat in Silent Roar: Searching for the Snow Leopard -- the first film to capture the mysterious and intimate behavior of the snow leopard.
